How do I repair a 2 inch hole in the center of my carpet?
The carpet is not wall to wall. I have extra piece of the same carpet to use for the repair. I still have the carpet backing in place so I have tried to glue another small piece of carpet on top of the backing in it’s place but it doesn’t stay. When I vacuum the carpet fibers get sucked up a little at a time. Can anyone advise me of the proper way to repair this problem?

What is the best way to do carpet patching?
I have had a 5 foot archway opened up between two rooms in my house. Both rooms are carpeted, leaving flooring where the wall was. We have built up the floor in the space to match the level of the existing floors in each room. I have remnants from having the carpet installed and I am wondering how to best patch the area. Should I add padding to level off the patch with the existing carpet. Would I use two sided sticking tape or glue? Also, should the remnant be cut a little larger to blend in with existing carpet and then is there a tool to use to help it blend in? Thank you for any assistance.
