You can tack the home carpet in place, although special staircase grippers will give a better finish. Start at the bottom, with the pile facing down the stairs. Tack the home carpet to the first tread, press the fold into the first gripper and, working upward, keep the home carpet very taut. When you reach the top riser, tack it under the last nosing so that the landing home carpet just overlaps it.
