| ================= RESOURCES ================= § RUG BINDING (for some rugs) I purchase 3" wide rug binding and bind off the entire rug....gives a very professional finish. The binding is cotton, woven in a twill, so does not detract from the rug. I purchase mine from: N-C CArpet Binding & Equip. Corp. 858 Summer Ave. Newark, NJ 07104 (973) 481-3500 http://www.n-ccarpet.com You have to buy in 50 yard rolls, but there does not appear to be a minimum.

I have used some very similar to the smallest cutter and found it to cut just about anything. http://www.carusew.com/item/cutmach.html Lynne in Maine ------------------ I have a great source for reeds! I don't know if they have a website but just send an email to: LOOMREEDS@aol.com and ask. They have built many reeds for me and never anywhere close to what other places were asking. VERY nice people. They are well made and shipped in boxes so strong you can use them after to store reeds. Caroline, in NJ -------------- I have also bought from these people and have been very happy. Caution: they come with a coating of oil (or something). Be careful. Bill McCarthy ------------- Right, it's oil, to keep them from rust or corrosion. It comes right off in the first little bit of warp so I put on a little extra if I'm using a new reed. Also, what ever type it is washes right out also because I can't ever detect which end of the cloth had the oil. Maybe I've been lucky, but it's not a problem. And these stainless steel reeds are fabulous, I have some extremely fine ones (38 DPI!). Once I took an old ball of yarn and a sley hook and just went down the reed pulling a loop through each dent and then grabbed it a bunch at a time and wiped it around. That worked pretty well to.
