    Just thought I would add one of mine, last weeks work, my sister is a photographer so I blag her to come over and take some pics. Fitted a Mohawk half century in the lounge, I think thats now one of my least favourite carpets ever, felt like it had been stored in a freezer. The stair carpet is the Alternative flooring I was trying to get hold of :smile:

    Its the rock and roll collection, colour back to black, nice bit of carpet and much more reasonable price than crucial trading. I like the brockway vogue stripe and theres lots of good stripes by Alternative

    I have to ask why you can't match the stripes, only the last 3 I've done the stripes matched up for me on the winders/kites/pies.

    Its not possible mate. Well actually it is possible if you retuft the carpet, but the lines will change there width so would look wrong anyway.

    Do you know something we dont know then? :geek:

    Must have been the carpet Matt I understand what you're saying about the width changing however mine were just loop pile pin stripes and each yarn was a different colour so the width of the stripe was the width of the yarn perhaps thats why I was able to match up.
