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

[Carol Osmar]

Susan, Yes Iam using the backing for latch hooking.  As far as I know it 
only comes with one size of hole.  The fabric I am using is fairly thin and 
it is about two inches wide, whicch is what I was told to use.  I will just 
try to be more careful.
