ADDITIONAL Notes: Not discussed above video: if you DO NOT have a skip-cut rotary cutter, or can’t find one, you can use embroidery technique using a sharp sewing tapestry “sail” needle. Tutorial found at following link. This will add a chain of yarn on the right side of your towel. Start this along the top in same place as topper video or use longer towel and fold in half (do this at folded line on top). Fasten off and then place the chain stitches on your pegs as stitches; keep chains small and be consistent. Top: Use chalk and a straight edge ruler to mark line to follow with hashmarks to help get right peg spacing width. If you are using a straight loom rub caulk on top of pegs and place upside-down on towel to mark the peg placement. Your chains will go around the dots). This technique also works if you want to use a bulkier yarn and a larger gauge loom. link text
