Custom Rug Resizing & Cutting in NYC

Hand Binding This is a traditional method that maintains exceptional value of the rug. It is best suited for fine, heirloom, and luxury carpets. Hand binding is the most premium option and the closest to orginal. The finishing technique in which the binding is carefully folded over the raw edge of the rug and hand-stitched with strong, high quality thread.

Machine Serging This a budget-friendly option that also provides durability. This finishing method is where a heavy yarn is wrapped continuously around the rug edge by a specialized machine. This creates a classic, whip-stitched look that mimics a traditional hand-finished blanket edge.

Machine Binding The fastest and most affordable rug edging option, which uses a high-speed machine to sew a thin polyester or cotton tape over the raw carpet edges. It provides a clean, functional, low-profile border that effectively prevents fraying on custom area rugs.

Fringe Fringe matching is a careful finishing process that restores or replaces the fringe of an area rug while maintaining its original character. Fibers are matched to the rug’s existing materials, color, texture, and construction. The fringe is then hand-applied and securely woven into the foundation of the rug, with each strand carefully aligned to create a balanced, natural appearance.

Why it matters The visual identity of a rug lives in its border and central motif. Before any cut is made, we map the pattern repeat and plan the new dimensions around preserving as much of the original border and symmetry as possible, rather than cutting without regard to the original design. You'll have the option to choose between any of these.

Edge finishing is available once the new size is set; see Custom Rug Fabrication for those options.
