From How to Install Carpet Stair Treads on Curved Stairs, Step 7: Secure Edges and Trim
The installer carries the freshly cut carpet strip back indoors to the stair landing. He carefully positions the carpet, ensuring it correctly covers both the riser (vertical part) and the tread (horizontal part) of the bottom step. He emphasizes the importance of achieving a 'nice and pretty' alignment. To temporarily secure the carpet, he uses an electric staple gun, placing staples only along the edges that will eventually be hidden. A quick trim with the utility knife removes any minor overhang before permanent securing.
