I have not tried fleece with the cutter my guess is it will have alot of fuzz which you will want to clean often off the blade(depending on the type of fleece) sorry I couldn't help ya.

If this is a question that is asking for rug braiding supplies, does that mean that you are inquiring about this particular starter kit? If so, the directions are very good to excellent about creating braided rugs, mats, placemats, etc. The little metal cone that folds thin fabric is good for that, but for thicker fabric, it isn't sufficient. That part is done best by hand folding and pressing with a hot steam iron. The needle for lacing is good if you have no other large curved needle for upholstery work or if that style. Overall, I think that this kit is worth the money in that it has excellent illustrations in the diagrams and photos in the book, answers many questions you would think of while trying to do this craft. I am glad I purchased mine and intend to make many more items using this kit. Hope this helps answer your question.

10" is what I came up with as well, and unlike D. Numanfortier, I don't put other supplies in the middle compartment... I have 6 to 8 skeins of yarn standing on edge, depending on the project I'm working on, and while they do hold each other up to a point, they often collapse to the middle or as the skein gets down to the end, it collapses which cause 1 or 2 of the others to fall over, blocking the yarn somewhat... which means I have to stop what I'm doing, stand everything back up and try to form the remainder of the one skein to continue to feed yarn. I've come up with a plan to take a 4" round mailing tube, cut to height for the center. I'll make 8 slits in the bottom about 4" high, and cut cardboard inserts 8" tall, by 6" wide, and put slits in them from the top down to 4" from the bottom. I'll slide one per slit on the tube and when done, I'll have what looks from the top, like a bicycle wheel with spokes going out... effectively giving me 8 compartments to stand the yarn in. the middle can hold my tunisian needles and patterns... Hope this helps.

I'd use at least worsted weight. The stock yarn is a soft, barely spun, two-ply, chunky acrylic. My daughter is currently using a sock weight, but we're going to line her purse with fabric since it's so lacy. You could use a double thickness of sock, maybe.

The kit comes with 6 cords that can be connected to make circulars from 17" to 60". The needles are IS 5-15 (3.75-10mm) you can knit flat or in the round with any of the size needles

OK, I just sewed the edge of one of my towels and it works fine. I also just finished "making" actually simply hemming, a length of fleece for a new baby blanket. I rolled the edges and it worked quite well. When I got to the corners, I did try to do the whole 4 layers and it wouldn't, it was just too much. But the regular hem was fine. The machine only goes so fast, which is great for a beginner. For me, I probably could have sewn my baby blanket a lot faster, if the needle went faster. The control ON the machine, not the foot peddle, was a tad faster. But it was ok anyhow.

We used 2 yards of fleece and 2 yards of another fleece. We then cut the fleece and tied them together to make a blanket.

I don't think that would be a good idea. The textile is light weight, woven and nylon or polymer-based. It's thicker than rip-stop nylon tarps are but it's loose knit would almost certainly result in fraying if cut. Unless of course you're good with an industrial sewing machine? The bound edges are heavy duty to resist the tensioning. You would have to replicate this if you were to cut it. I'd recommend just buying the smaller versions which are also available at your local home supply.

Use the thick yarn or double the other normal yarn. I love making scarfs and hats&#128512;

Hi. I made the baby blanket and also found the weaving tool too short. I made a homemade tool from a wire hanger. A thinner-wired hanger is easier to work with. With cutters I snipped the upper arm of the hanger about an inch from the bend. That will be the hook end. The other side I cut a few inches farther up the other upper arm. You bend that part into a handle. Throw the hanger section away. Shape the hook end with pliers. I had to file the cut end to smooth it down. Shape the handle with pliers making it comfortable for you to turn the hook flat to pass through the warp yarn, then to turn it up to go between the pegs to pick up the weft yarn. That's up to you. I wrapped the handle with tape to cushion it a bit. Hope this helps. I can send you pictures of the blanket but I can't figure out how to do it.

I wouldn't. You could perhaps cut an inch or 2 off each side and refinish the edges on a sewing machine, if you know what you're doing. The magnets on sewn in between the fabric like a pocket as you can see in the photo. The problem is that there are 3 magnets across the top and 3 cross the bottom and the are not all the same distance from the edge. one magnet is 3 inches from the edge, one is 2.5, and one is as close an inch from the edge. We are very happy with the blanket although we bought 2 more magnets from the hardware store to put on each side . I hope that I've answered your question.

Sorry, can't help you with that. It would be nice if it came with one. I made my own out of a heavy appolstry material and added a drawstring edge (I can sew and it is not too hard to make your own pattern if you want a DIY project).

Melt the ends to seal the cut site. I also melt any holes I punch as well. Woven nylon fibers will always fray.

These are for crochet only, but Amazon has some really good books on getting started with knitting, I would recommend that maybe you look into one of these. Since I do not knit, I would not know what needles to recommend. Good luck..

Not sure what type of projects you plan, but I use it for felting animals and figures. It is easy to work with, and felts much better than some of the other wool I have.

I tend to pull from the center of a ball to knit so I often rewind the left overs back into a ball. You don't need a whole lot. The cone is one size but I think the reason it's for up to 10oz or so of yarn is because the bottom on the cone comes out further and the arms that wind the yarn are long enough to fit around the ball that is being wound- if that makes sense. For amounts that are next to nothing I just wind into a small ball with my fingers and throw into the pile with others- these are like next to nothing quarter sizes. Hope that helps

Personally, I would sew or glue loops on the edge and then string on some type of string or twine. I guess you could staple them also but I'd prefer what ever method would do the less damage.
