    Laura,

    All I've done with burlap is some stitchery with a severely CP student
    who couldn't do the regular weaving unit with the rest of the class.
    However, something I learned on this list, and not the hard way, thank
    goodness, is to wear eye protection when cutting large amounts of
    burlap. The tiny fibers that are released can actually scratch your
    corneas. Cutting a couple pieces probably won't matter; the person who
    posted this said she had been cutting many many pieces for her classes.
