Can you get stick down capet edging trim
Catpuss - 16/9/07 at 06:55 PM

Anyone know if you can get the edging trim for carpets in stick on form or is it just sew on? I don't expect my sewing machine will be man enough (if thats the right phrase when talking about sewing machines ) able to handle that.

Big needle and thread and a quiet room where you won't be discovered darning?

p.s. I don't know but I doubt it would hold...

WHATS UP WITH LAMINATE OR EVEN REAL WOOD

Glue and carpets don't stick for long - stitching is the only real answer. I edged mine with alloy strip which hides the cut edges and self tappers are never going to come unstuck

Buy an old treadle or hand-cranked Singer sewing machine. Happy days.... Go nice and slow though!!!
I've gone through four layers of webbing with a hand cranked Singer.... It will certainly be able to do carpet....
