Carpet stitching is a meticulous process used to repair and restore carpets by sewing damaged areas. Techniques include hand-sewn seams, butt seams, and hot-melt seams, each suited to different carpet types. Hand-sewn seams are particularly reliable and recommended for complex constructions like Wilton or woven carpets. They involve stitching with durable synthetic threads and may be reinforced with a latex seam sealer for longevity. This method ensures that the carpet remains visually appealing and durable over time.
