Here is a great time saver! Line up a couple thin strips of tape (sticky side up) and place the fabric coils across them. Take the taped row and sew it down  the center on to the base. Once you sew it down simply remove the tape.

Beginner here. I don't quite understand what is going on in this step. Can someone explain? Maybe the photo is just confusing me.

This step shows how to hold together many of the 4 inch strips at once using the tape. This way, you can place the whole strip of taped together pieces onto the base fabric and sew them down. Its just a speedier way of sewing it.

Hi dpseal,

This step is a quick way to do what is done in step 3. Step 4 recommends lining up all the 4 inch pieces on the tape then sew straight down the middle of the lined up 4 inch pieces (between the two tape strands) resulting in a whole strip now quickly sew onto the rug base as oppose to only sewing a few 4 inch pieces at a time (which seems to be what is done in step 3). I hope my wordiness is helpful and not more confusing :-).
