I posted on August 29, 2012 that you could put the hook side of the Velcro self-stick dots on a rug and it would stay in place on the carpet.

I apologize, I was wrong. The hooks catch the carpet very well, but the adhesive is not strong enough to withstand the traffic by the front door. I am replacing the self-stick dots with sew on Velcro.

I will have to test my theories a little longer before I post them.

Throw rug by front door.
