How to process the edge of a rug at home
Do you want to process perimeterite products at home without the use of professional equipment? Don't be afraid. This is quite possible to do if you have the ability to sew.
The perimeter can be treated with a regular buttonhole stitch:
- To do this, trim the edge of the product.
- Prepare several skeins of strong thread that will match the color of the rug.
- Take a large needle and work the edge with it. Use an over-the-edge stitch.
No need to tuck or pin anything.
For processing, you can use a thin cord. It will give the edge wear resistance. Match the color of the cord to the color of the product. Make the buttonhole stitch at the same distance. This solution will give the edges strength and a complete, decorative look.
Use ribbon to decorate the edge. A synthetic tape will do; it is important to choose the right color to match the carpet itself. You will need to fold the tape in half and stitch it around the entire perimeter. Sew over the edge.
By choosing one of the options listed, you can extend the life of the product.
