I need help here. I'm using a 50 foot Nylon line here to make a rug. I've got it all pegged down and the outline made, and the rope used up. I'm on the last step, which is tightening it down becuase it's all flimsy and spread out now. I'm looking for a way to tighten it down without destroying it.
Any help is greatly appreciated

the entire thing is about 20.5in X 21in

@TSI:
I think what I might do is just pull lower left closer to upper right and collapse it that way and keep threading w/ the excess line

Ah, now I see what you're doing there. Yeah, what TSI said, anchor it by putting like a nail or something in each corner, and tighten the rope so it will go around the nails, and not fall apart.

I've got it nailed down, but in order to tighten it, i have to remove the nails. I'm trying to put it all together so all the gaps are closed and it won't fall apart when i take it off the board
