Choosing a rug hooking frame may be challenging if you are new to the craft.

Once you have all of your assorted fabric pieces, as well as an idea of what you would like to do with those fabric pieces, it is important to search for your frames.

These frames are absolutely essential when it comes to hooking the personally crafted rug that you want to make.

In the beginning stages of rug hooking, your goal should be to get familiar with the craft and the supplies that are used to create the rugs. At this point, a standard rug hooking frame is appropriate.

It is best to purchase a frame that allows you to secure the fabric that you are using to create the wood.

These often have small pieces of wood that hold the material in place. It is also important to select a frame that is highly durable.

In some instances, you will be placing a lot of pressure on the frame when hooking. At all costs, it is important to avoid purchasing cheaply made frames.

If you want to start in hooking your own rugs, it is absolutely essential that you know what to look for when purchasing a rug hooking frame.

Why won't my fleece latch hook rug work?
I started doing a latch hooked rug design at home. I have the rug canvas with all the little square holes, and I looked up how to use the latch hook. But every time I try to pull the fleece strips back through the hole to make a slip knot, it's so difficult! I pull with all my strength and it won't go through. I even ripped the rug frame once. I'm fairly sure I'm doing it right, and I'm using much thinner fleece strips than before (less than 1/2 inch wide), but I still can't do more than 1 every 3 minutes. My other problem is that the latch hook is always failing to catch on both ends of fleece, pulling only one through and failing to knot. Any suggestions?

I used to rug hook and always did it with yarn. 1/2 inch pieces seem awfully big. Also, when you pull the hook back through make sure it isn't catching on other holes in the canvas. When you initially wrap the fleece around the hook before sticking it into the fabric, keep one hand pinching both ends until you pull it through again.
