When binding becomes damaged, it is important to schedule rug repair services as soon as possible to prevent further unraveling. At Persian Rug Cleaner, our weavers match the binding method of the new binding to the old binding.
We also color match the thread. We carry hundreds of shades to ensure the closest match possible. You can even visit our repair center to decide which color you would like.
Our weavers begin by overcasting, which is when the raw edges are stitched to prevent further unraveling, then they sew in the new binding, matching the original work. If your rug needs a completely new binding done, meaning there is no old binding to match, you may look at our examples to decide which binding method you prefer. Each of the binding methods will look slightly different from each other, but they are all secure so it’s really an aesthetic choice.
