Very good
This is a brilliant video but I have very long and very wide windows and they are so long and wide they always have several joins and are so heavy, any tips on for handling such enormous projects as I don’t have an enormous table to have them flat for sewing.
I also don’t have spare floor space to lay them out either. :-!
Your demo is excellent! Great work
Excellent – thank you ZJ!
If your table isn’t very big, have a chair at the side of you to take the weight of the fabric, otherwise it will pull away as you are sewing. It’s a lot easier.
Did not get to see final ,finish curtains,cut short.

I am planning to line pre-made curtains. Do I need to launder the curtains and the lining material before inserting the lining? I appreciate your help.
