Abstract
A cutting guide for use in making a cut in a carpet comprises an elongate base including a substantially flat upper surface portion and a channel which extends along the base. The inner side walls of the channel are at an oblique angle relative to the upper surface portion so that when the guide is placed underneath a carpet and a knife drawn along the channel in contact with a side wall, the cut edge thereby produced in the carpet is at an oblique angle to the plane of the carpet. When two such edges of different portions of carpet are abutted together, a tidy unobtrusive seam is produced.
