She mentions that this technique helps the edges of the rug wear more slowly. You do the prep work for the Eaton Edge before hooking your rug.
- You need to sew tape around the edges of the rug, using a zipper foot.
- Start by hooking from the underside of the rug first.
- Hook a second row (from the front) and continue on hooking the remainder of the rug.
- Turn tape to back and secure it to the rug foundation
- The first row of hooking done from the back, will fill the tape, giving it a corded appearance.
Efficient and long lasting - who could ask for anything more?
