Difference #1 - Ends:
In a hand knotted rug, the fringe is “part” of the rug – NOT sewn on as an extension, as is the case in hand tufted and power loomed rugs.
Difference #2 - Back:
Hand tufted rugs are almost always covered with a cotton/canvas backing.
The pattern is clearly visible on the backside of hand knotted rugs. In power loomed rugs the stiching on the back is very consistent; much like the stiching of a clothing article.
Difference #3 - Side:
Hand tufted and power loomed rugs always have “serged” sides or machine stitching on both sides of the rug.
