59 carpet

["Clint and Laurie Carter" <laurielu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

An upholstery shop should be able to serge the edges. Serging is like binding the raw edges, only it's done with thread, not a another piece of fabric or carpet. The seams of your t-shirts are probably serged.

 

Kate - the sewing machine expert - are there any home sergers that could handle a job like this? I know mine won't.
