How to draw a rug hooking pattern-Circles!

February 16, 2016 by Cindi Leave a Comment

Today I talk about transferring a paper pattern to the rug hooking backing. Be sure to use a Sharpie Industrial Marker (those are suitable for fabric).

The trickiest part of drawing your own patterns is to get the design on the backing AND get it on straight or in line with the grain of the fabric. Red dot is my favorite way to transfer the pattern. It is easy to see through, solid enough to hold enough ink to get detail and does not leave a residue.

Where to buy supplies

  • Prismacolor Premier Ebony Graphite Sketching Pencil, Jet Black, Extra Smooth, Dozen – 14420
  • Sharpie Industrial Marker
  • Red dot
  • Rug Warp, my first choice for backing
  • Linen
