Materials
Equipment
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.
