These precision strips are usually cut using a mechanical cloth slitter; however, the strips can also be hand-cut or torn. When using the hand-torn technique the rugs are usually done in a primitive motif.Designs for the rugs are often commercially produced and can be as complex as flowers or animals to as simple as geometrics.
