I have a very good quality throw rug about 2 by 3 feet. It had fringe on it that got terrible so I cut it off. Did fine for a while and is now starting to fray on edges. How should I bind the edges. Thx for help

Hi Tut, You can purchase rug binding from Home depot, Lowe's or probably even Walmart. Here's a how to link that may help: Hi Tut, You can purchase rug binding from Home depot, Lowe's or probably even Walmart. Here's a how to link that may help:

Good luck!
You could bind it, use a liquid that stops fraying edges (sewing departments), or do a type of blanket stitch around the edges depending upon the rug material and style. You could also sew a different trim onto it...Hobby Lobby has some great trims.
A curved needle is the easiest to use. Use a corded thread or at least 3 ply.
Weave your needle through as quickly as you can to prevent further deterioration of the rug. Fringe (if you desire it) can be looped through and
tied off.
Thx so much for your time and answer
