You can get them through rug hooking supply places. I got mine through a teacher at a rug hooking workshop years ago. If you google traditional rug hooking it will have all sorts of suppliers I am sure. It would be fun to find a used one..but most folks hang on to them once they get them. I think I paid $80 for mine when I got it...but it WAS years ago. It is just like new now though..not like they get tons of wear and tear. Extra blades for different thicknesses are extra..I just have one set for the size I use the most.
Since you are all talking about rug making here are some new/vintage/ antique tool I use and have in my collection of handwork items. I also posted this on my blog but with up close photos of the tools if you click on those pictures you should be able to read whats onthe old boxes.
have a lovely day and may God bless you and keep you safe
Hi Shirley! How did you make the blue jean rugs?? Did you braid them? I have braided with wool before and would love to find a way to use up the old jeans that my kids grow out of.
