We have bought a 'runner' - a long piece of carpet that goes down the hall to catch muddy/messy marks when entering through the front door. This lies on top of our new carpet, but the problem is that it slides around. All the fixings that I can find are to fix a carpet to a hard surface (boards, tiles etc.) so can anyone recommend a way of attaching carpet to carpet (not permanently, I should add).
 
You can get strips or mats to attach to the bottom of the runner, they have a spiky effect a bit like velcro. I don't know the correct name.

The runners tend to move in one direction only, I think due to the way the pile of the carpet lies.
 
I think the one in the link is the tacky rubber mesh, for use on hard shiny floors.
 
Foxi anti-slip from Ratcliffe Underlays, if that does'nt stop the runner moving, nothing will, much better than the mesh style products.
