Post by: Mike Halliday on February 01, 2012, 06:52:03 am: 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
