[QUOTE="Waterwings, post: 10185, member: 123"] Yep, it would, but as long as you use sharp blades for cutting and use a straight-edge (flat bar, angle iron, etc) as a guide it could be done. When I was laying-out my cut lines I flipped the carpet over and made my marks on the black rubber backing using a silver Sharpie. Just had to remember whether to cut on the outside, inside, or the middle of the drawn line. I tried to stay on the outside of the line mostly, and would use scissors for trimming excess when needed. There are a couple of places on mine where I had to add fill-in pieces (1/8"-1/4" wide) to cover a bad cut, but those were in the inside corners and are now covered. [/QUOTE]
