After you cut all your scrap fabric in strips you then need to sew the ends together you would put the right side to the WRONG side?? then the right side then the WRONG side???? Is this to give it texture and color?? I have a question that I can’t figure out for making a hooked rug out of fabric scraps.

My 80 year old Mother is from the McGown/Moshimer school, learned from a McGown teacher. I learned from Mom. In some instances, some of these rugs made by hand, take a person 10 years! to finish..that is a lot of holes they fill with hand processed wool, mostly reclaimed, hand dyeing it, then cutting it. It is an art of color and texture, and dimensional flow, if that makes sense. Every strip of wool, has it's place as it were, and shading becomes the life of the rug. Your article gave me both an education, and a great sense of pride also. Very nice article, thank you. My 80 year old Mother is from the McGown/Moshimer school, learned from a McGown teacher.
