If you think about this that is basically how braided rugs were made in the 
 past kinda.  When I was growing up my friend's Mom worked on a braided  
rug.  She would cut strips of wool things like skirts, pants fabric etc and  
she used these metal things that she would put the strips in that as the 
fabric  pulled thru would fold the fabric.  The rug was basically large enough 
that  it was on the floor and she would sit in different chairs around the 
room and  either be attaching the strips together, winding them in a ball, 
braiding 3 of  the folded pieces or sewing them to the main piece of the rug on 
the  floor.
