Best way to bind cut carpet edge?

SLS Construction & Building Solutions LLC on Jul 22, 2016Strip of cloth about 1" wide - staple to top approx. 1/4 in from edge, fold over & hot glue to bottom... done just like a pro (oh yeah we also have a special stapler for it but depending on thickness & desk stapler size you might be able to use one of those)Helpful Reply

William on Jul 22, 2016Trim off the frayed edges. Take a 1" strip of contrasting fabric, use E6000 Fabric Fuse and glue 1/2" on front of the carpet. Fold over the other 1/2" to the back and glue that down. Use clips, cans, books, etc to weigh glued edges down for a minimum of an hour. A more permanent fix than hot glue.Helpful Reply

Lynda Dexter on Jul 24, 2016I had some like this and I edged it with duct tape. There are so many patterns out there, Mine lasted for several years before I changed decor and gave them to some one else.Helpful Reply

Blair Chris on Jul 24, 2016I have done edges by sewing, using the blanket stitch, (some call it overlock stitch) some cheap knitting yarn and a large darning needle is all it takes. I know is sounds a massive task but it really isn't. I simply sat each night, stitching a metre or so and found it quite relaxing.Helpful Reply
