Sofa edging strips are a great way to add a touch of style and sophistication to your furniture. They can also help to protect the edges of your sofa from wear and tear.

Instructions1. Measure the length of the sofa edge that you want to cover. Cut a piece of edging strip that is the same length as the edge.

3. Open the edging strip up and place it on the sofa edge, with the folded edge facing the sofa. Pin the edging strip in place.
4. Sew the edging strip in place using a sewing machine. Use a stitch that is strong and durable, such as a straight stitch or a zigzag stitch.
