RUG BINDING STITCH
The Rug Binding Stitch is exactly what the name implies. This stitch is
primarily used for binding edges together, especially in rug making. The rug binding stitch is also referred to as the plaited edge stitch. This is because it is an excellent stitch for working edges. It is recommeneded that the canvas be folded at the edges for this stitch. Three diagrams have been used to demonstrate this stitch.
