The only thing is they do not have the rubber backing on them yet. They bring the raw carpet, we sew on the design and then they attach the backing and bind them. If you try to sew them with the backing attached you may be looking at some expensive repairs. If you feel the need to practice, go to an upholstery supply store or an upholstery shop and get some automotive carpet. You will need plenty of underlay, extra density and solvy. Depending on how heavy the carpet is a 75/11 or 80/12 sharp needle works fine. Steve I.
