BINDING CORNERS—CONTINUED
METHOD 2
1.
Sew first side leaving a 2-3” tail (Figure 18).
2. Fold tail under (Figure 19).
3. Place carpet in folder and sew down the next side (Figure 20).
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 on each corner.
5. When completed, fold and glue all the strips down (Figure 21).
METHOD 3
Sewing around corners is more difficult. Corners done in this manner are usually not
as sharp as those done by folding over and gluing. Zigzag should be used on corners.
Straight stitching is not recommended.
1. Slow machine down.
2. Stitch up to corner, then stop machine.
3. Raise feed roller.
4. With the needle down part way, turn machine or carpet.
5. Drop feed roller and continue sewing. See Figure 22.
