[Nfb-krafters-korner] Rug Hooking Book ...

[Susan Roe]

Hi Carol,

I would have to agree.  I think they are seperating because the material is 
bulkier than the yarn.  Are you using the backing reccomended for rug 
hooking?  The reason I ask is because the backing I use is rather stiff and 
I have had no trouble with it seperating even when I have used thicker yarn.
