Floor/carpet pattern files?

Post by njoconnor »

I recall seeing some threads about a graphics file available, which can be printed out (on a large format printer) and create patterns for cutting carpeting and insulation. I can't find the threads (did a couple of different searches). Can someone redirect me?

Thanks

Dan, Neil.
I'm about to embark on the carpet for my 81. Any advice on what type of carpet to use? I have found a few types at the DIY store. Rubber back (might retain moisture), canvas back (seems stiff and unworkable), and third looking nice on the front but very "flimsy" in nature and I think it will end up bunching up. What did you use? I plan to take the main piece and have the edges bound for a good look.

Also, if there is any chance of getting, purchasing, begging your pattern files, that would be swell!

Thanks in advance,
Deb

Thanks,
I am already planning to use the EZ cool since everyone seems to have had success with it. I'm just having a hard time choosing the carpet itself. What is most workable, cutable, sewable, etc.

Appreciate the help

if you look in my post, the carpet I used was easy to cut with reg kitchen scissors. i did not sew the ends. I bought it at Lowes and the Marine grade (rubber bottom) keeps any water/moisture away from the car and does not slide around etc :wink:

Good point about the rubber bottom not sliding, didn't think of that. I've been to HD but I'll hit Lowes this weekend.
Thanks.
