    I normally lay carpet over size on landing and pin in place, mark edges, remove pins, cut to marks then get whipped.
    Sometimes I'll gripper 1" to 1 1/2" in from edge and rely on tension to hold in place. Other times I staple just behind the binding to hold down.
    The microplas tape (felt back stuff) works on some.
