Directions
- Hemstitch at the beginning.
- Weave plain weave through out. Weave Arbor for 1" then, alternate between Arbor and Quarry every other pick. Be sure to weave a balanced plain weave so the picks of Quarry look square. Weave to the end of your warp, ending with 1" of Arbor like in the beginning. Hemstitch at the end.
- Assembly: Lay length of fabric down in a straight line. Bring one end down to a point. Bring the other end to a point overlapping the other end. With a 10-yard length of Arbor, sew a square with a whip stitch where these points overlap.
- Finishing: Hand wash, dry flat. Once dry, put in the dryer on medium heat for about 10 minutes until sufficiently fulled, checking often.
