Carpet Whipping vs. Carpet Tape Binding: what's the difference?
When transforming carpet remnants into bespoke rugs, runners, or stair carpets, choosing the right edge finish is key to both durability and style. The two most popular carpet edging options are carpet whipping (also known as overlocking) and carpet binding (tape edging). While both methods effectively prevent fraying and extend the life of your rug, they offer completely different visual finishes. Understanding the difference between a sleek, wrapped yarn edge and a structured fabric tape border will help you choose the perfect look for your home. Read our quick comparison below to discover which technique suits your custom rug creation best.
