I know my hooker designer friend keeps "upping" the width of her strips....I remember when she went to a 10-cut and I was amazed...but she always does HUGE rugs, so it worked....then she did some hand-torns - again with HUGE rugs....Never thought they could work on smaller pieces....Can't wait to see what you do.....Happy Weekend!
