Hi, I just started making braided rugs, but have worked with fabric for years. 1- figure out how large you want your braid to be then cut your strips. I'm guessing 2 inches width will work well. if the braid is too small then it takes so much more time which means less rugs. 2 sew your strips together and roll them around thin piece of fabric as like a wheel, then tie together with the ends of the thin fabric. when braiding fold the raw edges inside , or fold in thirds to have a bit of fray with wear. braid and sew and braid and sew somemore. till done.
