  • When installing binding on carpet the nap can push and deform, getting in the way and creating bulk on your finished project. To fix this issue I used to trim the carpet with my scissors before sewing the binding. Now that I've figured out this trick - I get a clean, consistent lines every time!
    Just grab some cheap hair clippers and run the clippers along the edge of the carpet before binding. Using the clippers allows for a consistent angle, making for a clean chamfer and easy sewing!

      We actually haven't tried this on loop carpet, but we think it should work. Try a test piece before trying it on your project.

    Good tips. You may want to consider using a mat cutter (used in frame shops) to finish the final edge after the bulk of the material is removed as it will cut a perfect 45° angle.

    What type of carpet do you use and do you use a backer on it? Thanks.

      The carpet being used in the video is aviation carpet. The backing used is nibbed back rubber mat.
