Tried power stretching on a 12x15 room instead of knee kicking and the seams got wavy

My boss kept telling me to use the power stretcher on that living room job in Oak Park but I figured I could save time with just the knee kicker and ended up having to pull the whole carpet back up and redo it because the seam rippled after I trimmed it, has anyone else had that happen when they skipped the power stretcher?

You keep the power stretcher next time and you wont have that problem, plain and simple.

Buddy of mine did the same thing on a rental house. Had to rip it all out the next day.
