Yesterday the vacuum ate part of the carpet. It must have caught some thread that was pulled up a bit, and it just unraveled a line about a foot long. I was able to extricate all of the thread from the vacuum, but now I've got a pile of thread & a line in the carpet that's missing. We can't leave as it - we have a cat who would just make it worse. I don't love the carpet, but on the other hand, I had (and have) no intentions of replacing it now so a fix should last at least 5 years and ideally 10.
How should I should fix this?
- Cut the carpet at the ends and leave it alone?
I'm afraid it'll unravel
- Cut the carpet at the ends and hot glue them down to help with unraveling?
- Take the excessive thread and go back and forth over the hole to cover it up a bit so it's not quite as obvious and hot glue all of it down (or cut it and glue some of it down)?
- [Insert your fix here]
