My uncle the "expert" told me to stretch carpet with a pry bar, ended up ripping a 12 foot seam

Honestly, is a ripped carpet seam really that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things? Can't you just throw a rug over it?

Did your uncle actually tell you to use a pry bar or did he mean a carpet stretcher? Because those are two completely different tools and one of them is definitely not for pulling carpet tight. Sounds like you just grabbed the wrong tool and blamed the guy who probably meant well. A pry bar is for demo work, not for stretching carpet, that's just common sense.
