[Illustration: The PEARL RUG MAKER.
PATENTED]
A sort of sewing-machine attachment; not strictly that; for it is not
attached; may be used with any machine, or without a machine, the
sewing done by hand.
With it a woman of taste and aptness with colors can get out of her
rag-bag beautiful rugs with almost no expense beyond sewing-cotton and
dyes [see Diamond Dyes, page 23 of this list.]
[Illustration]
The rug-maker is simply a nickeled steel-wire frame on which to
wind cut rags or yarns preparatory to sewing them on a substantial
foundation. Not hard to learn the use of. Not hard to use. A sort of
homely art-work with waste materials, splendidly profitable.
The finished rug is a velvet, the pile of which is made by cutting the
loops as they come from the rug-maker. The product of one day’s work
may be as pretty and rich a rug as you would buy for several dollars.
All depends on your taste, materials, colors, industry, patience. There
is something of the constructive artist in every woman of taste.
