I’ve said it before: I really don’t like serging.
If you look at the rug in the middle of our retail store, you’ll see why. The serging on that rug has become dirty, discolored and frayed. It looks terrible!
If you’re going to serge an area rug to sit in the middle of the room, go ahead, take your chances.
But, let’s say you’re doing a custom stairway and you’re extending that stairway into a hallway and making a runner. If you serge that piece, remember that it’s stapled to the floor! It’s not like you can send it back to the serging hospital and reserge it. (If you do try to pull it up, you’re going to wreck the installation.)
Don’t serge that hallway runner. Instead, put a binding on it, which will last longer.
If you have any questions about serging carpet, give us a call at (401) 324-9215 or come visit our Middletown showroom. We’re happy to provide you free advice.
