Finish Your Rug with the Perfect Backing Fabric

The backing fabric is essential for finishing the back of your rug, as the name suggests. There are various options available, but our anti-slip felt is by far the most popular choice among our customers. It provides a secure, durable, and professional finish to your tufting projects, ensuring your rug stays in place and looks great for years to come.

Anti-Slip Felt vs. Cotton Backing Fabric: What’s the Difference?

The key difference between anti-slip felt and cotton backing fabric lies in how the edges are handled. Cotton backing fabric cannot simply be cut, as the edges will fray. In contrast, anti-slip felt can be cut easily without worrying about fraying since it is not woven.

That said, cotton backing fabric can provide a beautifully polished finish. When paired with our Backing Spray Adhesive and Binding Tape, it creates a professional and seamless look for the back of your rug. This extra step ensures a high-quality finish that is both durable and visually appealing.
