Hi Folks

 

Our Abbey Freestyle has lay in carpets over a vinyl floor covering and we want to replace them.

I can get what appears to be the same carpet as originally fitted, but need the edges bound.

Has anyone had this done and can share the likley cost of getting the carpets edge bound?

I am in Edinburgh, so any reccomended "binders" would be very appreciated.

 

Thanks

David

binders or "whippers" to another common name for the process do come up on google for edinbugh. Can't recommend any as our neighbours did ours for nowt on their sowing machine.

Hi

Thanks for the replies.

£1 a foot would be just about bearable, assuming that includes the edge tape.... you guessed I'm a tight Scotsman!

Saying your neighbour did it on their machine...was it a normal sewing machine, presumably with a special needle for carpets? if so, I could probably do it myself!

It is a machine with whipping capability. She does it for a local carpet shop. She makes rugs out of their carpet offcuts.
