Title: And another thing - carpets ?
Post by: Murdoch on 28, November, 2009, 05:57:17 PM
OK, OK, one more question and thats it for now
Tried cleaning the carpets of my recently purchased Merlin, and there is little left of them now (maybe I shouldnt have used the power hose on them)
Never mind.
So, have all the templates, wondered if I could make my own set from a normal roll of carpet. Thing is, the original seems to have lots of nice dark blue edging - any idea how to do this - again either DIY or company
Cheers for  now,
Steve

You'll need a pretty industrial sewing machine to get the edging right. Your best bet is to get some made by a pro I'm afraid. I'd order the carpet from a trimmer, cut it to the sizes you want and then get them to put the edging on for you.

Bri, I am edging my own carpets.  Got some Black PVC from the fabric shop in Frome.  Cut into strips and used my wife's sewing machine to stitch in place.  Then turn over and glued to the back of the carpet.  Her domestic machine coped easiely with the cheap cord type carpet I brought from Corcoran's.  The reason why I got cheap carpet is just incase it gets wet, it's easy and cheap to replace.

Just an idea but, would edge trim work? Like the stuff you edge aluminium sheet with etc.
