[@lornabradley9519]

Thanks! It has been a while since I made a drapery panel. This was the perfect refresher. That hem tool is great!

[@marablack1233]

Awesome Instruction Video👍🏻 May I ask what type of tabletop ironing board your using?☺️

[@rosewood513]

I made curtains with those grommets last month and they came out great but you just showed me a few tips i will use next time. thanks for the wonderful video.

[@Woodsie.]

You mentioned adding a lining to the curtain. What type of fabric did you use as a lining?

[@landscapes4design]

My fabric is a heavy linen and is three widths wide by 9 feet long, so with that amount of weight, and the somewhat open weave of the linen, I feel I need a stabilizer interfacing at the top so it doesn't sag/pull around the grommet from the weight. If I add the stabilizer, I will have the double thickness of the linen, plus lining, plus stabilizer. Will the grommet still close with that many layers? How do I cut the circle template through all those layers of fabric?

I called the ruler a template, when actually it is a measuring tool You can iron directly on it as I do in the video. It is called a "Drapery Hem Gauge" and it is made by Dritz. It's a great tool to add to your tool box. I use it for lots of sewing projects - not just for hemming curtains.

[@mmickens11]

do you have to a lining on drapes when you are using

[@celestinahutchinson2875]

Beautiful demonstration!

[@SimmerCentral]

[@mmickens11]

[@maltesergr8]

What stye template called that you can iron on? I'd like to purchase one, but don't know what to call it.

Thanks for a great video! It just so happens that my daughter has just asked me to make her some curtains in this style. I reached your video from the It's Sew Easy web site. I'll be looking for other videos from you in the future.

Great instructor

[@agshplc]

Awesome tutorial! Thank you!

[@hazelgriffith4515]

How far from the edge does the first grommet go?

[@amandalear5288]

Ahhhh what a relief. Thank you for an absolutely super video - very helpful indeedy :)

[@anyab.9533]

The video is nice, but it should have come with a direct link to a written tutorial. The website does not have a search option, so it is impossible to find the tutorial she mentions in the video. Now, I have to google other tutorials to see how to measure the fabric. Disappointing.

[@sharonrogers21]

Should I add some interfacing or something more stable in the header?

[@chrislusbytaylor3197]

Using a blind hemming stitch on the side seams is totally unnecessary. After hemming curtain and lining separately, put the lining and curtain right side to right side, sew the side seams with normal seam allowances. Press the seams. Now pin along the top edge, making sure the left and right edges have equal turnovers, sew top edge. Trim the top corners, turn right sides out again.

[@nicolerose9426]

Great video; thank you for the many pointers and detailed information. I am ready to make my curtains.

[@tomaschris3675]

I know it is kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to stream new series online?

[@loganarmando8204]

@Tomas Chris I use FlixZone. Just search on google for it :)

[@angelokylan1536]

[@tomaschris3675]

@Logan Armando thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) Appreciate it!!

[@loganarmando8204]

@Tomas Chris you are welcome :)

[@imranmemon4631]

Super

[@meamimi1]

love this tutorial!

[@maltesergr8]

Thank you, Donna! I'll definitely be purchasing a drapery hem gauge to my other goodies ;)

[@monisamontoya413]

I saw that a pack of 8 grommets cost $14 dollars ( Joann's) and since I need 2 panels this is an expensive solution.

[@vmoreno4]

Anyone looking for the measurement info she refers to in the video...but can't find. Here is a link to their website for the page with the info www.itsseweasytv.com/projects/series_200/213/Its_Sew_Easy_213-1.pdf

[@kaekstull]

these are made by Dritz!

[@grace2548]

Templates too smile

[@igloozoo3771]

Just use clips. They are just better looking in my opinion no matter the quality of the drapes and the easy to take up and down for cleaning. Grommet curtains look dated now.
