Yesterday I suggested you start sewing on the binding in the corner . . .
Be sure to leave a couple of inches to cut off at the end- and then just fold and set up the mitre on the back side-at the corner where you started!
Voila!! there are no seams joined on your sides.
On the underneath side,neatly sew corner MITRED together with tiny little stitches . . .use LINEN thread or . . . .
if you do not have any, then use 100% COTTON . .
Take small running stitches all around on the inside edge of your tape.
For the BEST PHOTOS of this whole procedure check out Jen Manuels BLOG site her pictures are excellent for yesterdays description of the same thing!
Please Remember there are many ways to FINISH the EDGE of a RUG . . . this is just one way . . .which I ,myself like . . if the rug is at all like an old style of Antique kind of design. . . .or any other style come to think of it!
