I use velcro the sticky backed sort

I battled with creeping rugs for years.

Nothing works.

Glad its not just me!!

What are these velcro things? Just ordinary velcro strips for curtain making etc??

Or do you mean just the hooked side? So they catch on to the carpet? Thanks!

It won't work!

I have had anti slip underlay for under rugs which works - it is like a sheet of very fine bumpy rubbery material. I had this overseas though so not sure where you would get it here. It did work a treat though

I use both sides of the velcro (it work's for me)

and i've also used the anti slip underlay you can get it from ebay

B & Q has underlay for rugs, its about £9 a pack and I needed 2 packs for a fireside rug which kept wrinkling up and wandering off. This stuff works perfect, although it's not cheap.
