In reply to Elizabeth.

Hi Elizabeth. If you do not have enough room to lay out a curtain, you are going to have to fold the fabric when cutting it so it does lay flat on whatever surface you are using. When doing this, ensure that your fabric is on grain and lined up perfectly when you cut to avoid any small “elbows” or points at a folded area. One you have your curtain cut out- constructing it would be the same as any smaller curtain.

Hope this helps!

Have you any tips for creating curtains accurately when they are too big for your table or bed and don’t have enough floor space to lay the curtain out.

Can you take pleated pants and take the pleats out of them and make them plant in the front?

I have a pair of jeans that needs to be taken in at the waist. How can I do that myself?

I have a Bernina that I bought in 1983, still going strong. Been to the repair shop 4 times in all those years!

For Shirley the lady that has trouble threading a needle, I also have the same problem and picked up some clip on magnifiers that attach to my glasses….most stores that handle crochet, embroidery, needlepoint type stock often have these clip ons and they are wonderful. I use mine ALL the time.
