... onto an exercise rug. Do you think that this would work?

I have a really nice navy blue exercise sheet and I don't really want to buy a new one if possible. I can get tape like this quite cheap and I can possibly borrow a sewing machine.

I bought rolls of that tape to do the same, just haven't got round to it yet.

As far as I can remember, you need to sew in a little 'gulley' at the side of the tape or you will struggle and possibly break needles.
 
Don't see why it shouldn't if you get strong thread and the sewing machine is up to it. The small holes caused by the needle will make the area *slightly* less waterproof but frankly you're unlikely to care.

Other factors:
your time/hassle vs buying a 25GBP or less high-viz sheet
you might want some reflective as well as hi-viziness

Pics of results if you go for it please!
