You can take a rug or remnant to a carpet store and they can bind it professionally for you. The price will depend on the store, but it will probably be cheaper than buying a new rug.
Hi Erika! Take a look at this:

Exactly! Binding one edge isn't all that expensive.

I tucked the fringe under the rug, secured it with gorilla tape, clean edge, no fringe!

Please post a pic of what you would like it to look like & I'll tell you how to do it in simple steps, one by one. It's not hard. There's an easy technique to do it that most people who bind rugs won't tell you about but I need to know some idea what you'd like it to look like as final steps vary a little when doing this.
Please post a pic - you can use any from a magazine you like.
