Hi have done this before.
You need to lightly glue the fabric left to right in straight lines, let it dry off and spray again top to bottom in straight lines thereby covering any missed spots. This is best done twice each way.
Do not be too heavy with the spray glue and buy a good quality one.
Alcantara can be used but is much easier to work with when working with a heat gun.
You definately need two friends, one at each end holding two corners, you working the material in place starting in the middle and working out to the sides. I personally use a wallpaper past brush to gently ease it, also stops fingerprints.
If you use too much glue it will pass right through the foam and everytime you touch the headlining it will squash the foam leaving indentations.
If not very confident, a large piece of plastic bag can be placed on the glued surface (test for sticking first to make sure you can pull it off easily) then you can place material on it and again starting in the middle cut the plastic, pull it off a little at a time whilst smoothing the material down.
Take your time do not rush and do not press firmly into place until you are sure it is in the correct position.
Good luck
