How to seam a 4" pattern repeat? Help please?
Hi
I am going to install two 12 x 28 pieces of jute back and glue it to cement. It has a 4 inch pattern repeat. Do i square it off on the pattens i need, determined by room size, and then use a chalk line and carpet bar to cut both pieces individually? Then when you put seam sealer on it do you do it on top of both pieces and let it absorb or on the edges as you go? Been a while since i did this and thought i'd better ask. I did it twice before, and one was a pattern and the other not, and one i did an overlay cut, but i don't think i want to do that.
If you can help?
Thanks in advance

Row cut it, count rows to the pattern repeat and row cut the other side. Go to CrainTools.com and look for there rowing awl and the cushionback cutter. Run a row down the guage, and use the cushionback cutter to follow and cut the row.
Once one side of the seam is laid into the glue, a bead of seam sealer is run right along the backing edge all the way down and the the other side of the seam is laid into the glue, and bumped tight with a knee kicker and rolled hard with a seam roller. You going to need a stretcher if there is the usual pattern run off or elongation.

i suppose i was looking right at it, but could not see the rowing awl, or is it one in the same with the cushuonback cutter, then the gauge is part of one of these?
