What did you clean it with Mike and what did you
do to the edges after cutting off fringe.
Looks really good.

I wuite often take rugs to a place where they take the fringes off and whip the edge. 30p per foot for whipping andI usually charge about £2 per foot to the client.

it was a wool rug, I didn't re fringe it  for 2 reasons, the client didn't want fringes she had other rugs and though the tassels always looked messy and secondly after we couldn't get it whipped  the easiest answer was to do the leather trimming our selves
