[Nfb-krafters-korner] latch hook pillows

I am making a pillow out of mine so we can follow up either at the end of  
the latch hook class or make it a sepparate class doing it into a pillow.
 
I have sewn the binding on by hand and not by machine in the past.  I  
never had any trouble with the binding coming off and I even washed my hook rug  
in the washing machine.  
 
If you are going to make it into a pillow you don't need any binding for  
it.  I would suggest you using a pillow form that you can purchase at  
Joann's and we can talk about that in the class.

Terry,

I am simply guessing here, (the sewers among us will  probably know best
about this) but it seems to me the way you might do it  is to purchase some
fabric and binding of a color that is already in the  pattern, cutting it
larger than the canvas itself, so there is room for the  stuffing, then sew
it to the canvas, using a stitch that would allow you to  tuck in the edges
of the canvas and fabric. after sewing three sides, stuff  it with a pillow,
stuffing from an existing old pillow or  fiberfill.,  then sew up the fourth
side.

Would that work ladies? I have read  that the binding for a latch hook
project should be done on the sewing  machine because it is tighter and
stronger than hand  sewing.

Even the  Patriot Flag is cheaper at Knitting Warehouse.  It is on sale  for
$5.99 and Everything Latch hook has it on sale for $7.47.  Not  sure on
shipping and handling but actual price is cheaper.

Hi,
I can't see the screen. I don't have enough sight. It  is the same size. I 
am

not sure. It is a different manafacture. It look  like they have all the 
same

kits from the other web site but less  money. It maybe the same one.   Have 
someone sighted check it  out. The knitting warehouse site look like they 
have more variety. The  knitting warehouse also has the Patriot kit for 
$5.99. I bought the thick  quick yarn from them for $2 less than I would 
have

spent on other web  sites.
