Binding Rugs like a Pro 😎 How to PERFECTLY finish the Edges of your Tufted Rug

This is how I prepare the edges of our rugs and finish the edge binding. It creates a much more durable edge and cleaner looking final piece
Say no to terrible hot glued edges!

Congratulations! your works are just amazing!!! I was wondering which kind of cutting machine is that one and which one you reccomend/use! Thanks

[@christabartow]

What fabric do you use for the backing?

[@coolestrugs]

hi where can i purchase the binder?

[@teresamaxwell2582]

Does the binding machine sew through glue?

[@NoFunStudio]

Yep!

[@br4040]

I run a binding business curious why you don’t hold the trigger and just bind it. Very interested in why you’re just bursting it.

[@NoFunStudio]

I had used a terrible glue for this one cause we ran out of the good stuff, Ethan said he was running the machine slowly like this cause he'd broken needle or two on some thick globs when he started it. Definitely a more gentle technique than necessary, you're right!

[@endurocatfish]

Wait quick question here, you just bind don’t make rugs? What are you binding to be able to do just that?

[@03_Raymond_03]

Yeah wish I could but they cost 5k brand new😂

[@NoFunStudio]

We definitely didn't get our machine brand new, our binding machine is at least 15 years old, I can't afford the price of a new one either! 😅 I found mine on Marketplace for a great deal because a carpet company was closing.

[@rahimpowell9831]

Where can I get one of those binding machines from?

[@NoFunStudio]

NC Carpet

[@craft._.planet]

So much more professional! can you do this with a sewing mahine or will it die? :D

[@NoFunStudio]

It will absolutely just die & you'll break so many needles in the process of failing. Don't ask me how I know ;) The binding machine has big rollers which pull the rug through the machine and keep the pile flat enough to be bound. It's also strong enough to smash through really tough dried glue, while most normal sewing machines definitely are not.. specialty machine for a specialty job ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@craft._.planet]

@@NoFunStudio Thank you so much! I had a feeling that would be the answer, just trying to get everything in order to start tufting but hot glue looks soo tacky imo, do you have any suggestions for putting on the backing w/o spray adheisive. thnx again!

[@NoFunStudio]

You can stick your backer cloth on at the same time you're glueing your tufting in. Cover the yarn, stick the backing on while it's still on the frame. Works better with some glues than others.

[@craft._.planet]

@@NoFunStudio thank you!!🫶🏾

[@alexedmund8576]

Where can I get a machine like this ?

[@paulf3]

Until I can afford one "hand bound" Will be a selling point 😂

[@NoFunStudio]

😅

[@justaguy328]

hahahahahah It's all how you word it my brother!

[@Petermihyo]

these things are like 5k, not really for starters

[@NoFunStudio]

You're right, it's definitely not a beginner machine.

[@stefaniedc1128]

lol yeah, no shit that spending another 5K for a machine will make rugs look better.
