WHAT IS CARPET BINDING?

Carpet binding is a skilled trade focusing on finishing the raw edges of a carpet or rug to prevent fraying while adding style and aesthetic appeal. If you look at any rug you will notice the binding around the edges, with a few exceptions, such as bath mats.

​

There are a few different methods of binding. The most common is the application of a fabric tape(either cotton or polyester.) This can be done with special glue or heavy duty stitching, or both.

​

The other option is serging or whipping, which involves repetitively looping yarn around the edges of the rug. And of course there is old-fashioned fringing, commonly seen on antique & oriental rugs.
