Carpets & Rugs--Overlocking Services

About the Carpets & Rugs-Overlocking Services heading in Yellow™

Information on carpet overlocking can be found under this Yellow™ heading. An overlock stitch sews over the edge of one or two pieces of cloth for edging, hemming or seaming. Usually an overlock sewing machine will cut the edges of the cloth as they are fed through (such machines are called ‘sergers’), though some are made without cutters. A carpet overlocking service makes use of scrap pieces of carpet to produce rugs or mats. The carpet is cut and measured and an overlock stitch is sewn onto the ends thus preventing it from fraying or tearing.

Overlock stitches are extremely versatile, as they can be used for decoration, reinforcement, or construction. Carpet overlocking is generally employed when installing a carpet and using the spare material effectively. Overlocking can provide mats or rug to be used in other rooms thus preventing wastage. Overlocking uses special stitching at the ends of the carpet to prevents fraying. As carpets are expensive the proper utilisation of the available material is essential. Overlocking helps in this.

Overlocking on rugs is generally done to turn the rug into either a smaller piece or into a mat. Salvage an old carpet with the help of a professional carpet overlocking service from Yellow™.
