ROFL. Had to laugh, My dents turn out obe little kitties under the throw carpets, have to be sure before i flattent hem out again. LOL. So I was gong to tell you to be sure they were dents before flattening. I also just get a brush and crush it out. Happy quilting.

When we moved out of our last house we used the ice cube trick for the deep dents that our pool table had made in the carpet. It is a regulation sized (9ft) slate table & beyond heavy! We put some ice cubes (the legs were really big, like 12"x 8") in the dents & let them sit & when they dried you couldn't even tell that the pool table had been there! It was pretty amazing. The thing I can't remember is if we had to do it more that once before they came out. This was all my husband's idea & I thought he was crazy, but it worked!

yeah,
ices cubes a folded towel and your iron, basically you steam the dents out, or you could shampoo that spot with an extractor then brush the nap up gently, when it dries it should be good, or repeat until it's corrected. good luck
