trimacar Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Hi- looking to have some original style serge binding done on a 20's automobile carpet, this is where thread is sewn back and forth with a special machine to bind carpet.Anyone know who does this, where you can send cut carpet and have bound?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) Ask at local carpet stores. Some of them have the machine, or they should know someone in the area who does. Larger stores usually have them. I know one of the local stores has one and this is in a town of under 2O,OOO.

unimogjohn Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 David/Trimacar, I also need this done to the carpet in the passenger compartment of the 23. Never knew what to call the binding. Here is a company in WV who does it. I imagine we can send off the cut carpet and have it bound. There is also a commercial place in MD.Alexandra's Rug Serging & More - Cross Lanes, WV (West Virginia) | (304) 776-4295 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franklinman Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Essis & Sons in Mechanicsburg, PA did mine for the '07 Franklin last year. They did a great job. I just made heavy paper patterns for each piece, furnished them the carpeting, and they cut it and applied the serging around the edges. You have to make sure when cutting the carpeting that you allow the proper leeway for the serging for a really good fit, so I left it to the experts. The whole job cost me less than $200, only took a couple of days, and I couldn't find one fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
