How to cut carpet
Start with a sharp knife.
This will be the most important (and possibly the only) tool you'll need to cut carpet. A standard utility knife is preferable, though something like an x-acto knife or razor can also do the trick.
Whatever you use, make sure the edge is nice and sharp. If you're using a utility knife with a removable blade, take a minute to insert a new one before you get started.
