Rant: The stair runner that fought back in a house on Elm Street
Last Tuesday I was fitting a wool runner on a curved staircase, and my knee kicker slipped off the top step. It shot down the stairs and put a two inch tear right in the middle of a brand new piece. The homeowner just stood there with her mouth open. I had to cut out the damaged section, seam in a new piece on site, and it added three hours to the job. Has anyone else had a tool just decide to ruin your day like that, and what's your fix for keeping them secure on tricky stairs?

Honestly, I just use a strip of that heavy duty gaffer tape across the top step now. It holds the kicker base in place without leaving a mark on the wood. You can still get the swing you need, but it keeps the whole thing from taking off.
