Diy adding fringe t area rug.
If you want to make an area rug from a carpet remnant or from a swath of broadloom carpet off a roll there are several options for finishing the edges to prevent fraying.
Rather it requires that you have a professional do the work with.
This would entail reversing the weaving process down to the base of the rug then finishing the end to be secured from losing knots.
A shade similar to natural linen a light gray beige usually looks best.
In the state the rug is currently in fringe may be gained in either one of two ways.
The dining room table is 7ft long and 3 4 across with and then counting the chairs but the rug can t be longer than 8 for the space so to have a rug that fits the table chairs and no longer than 8ft it needs to be like 7 x 8 and i cant find those dimensions anywhere.
I knew if i could swing adding some tassels it would go from good to awesome.
Although i paid about 500 upon writing this post i see the price for the 9 12 is down to 279 for a closeout sale for my tassels i searched for something sturdier than yarn but softer than twine.
The most common choices for carpet finishing are binding serging and fringing.
For 1 48 and 1 144 scale rugs on 48 count gauze i use cotton sewing thread a single thickness not doubled.
