3. Use a straight stitch to hem the sides. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the top and bottom of the curtain panel. Note: If you’re using a delicate fabric, and have paid attention to the suggestion in step 1 for working with lighter materials, fold the top 1½" instead of ¾" to create a wider hem. 5.
Measure and mark the placement for your grommet holes along the length
of the top of the curtain panel. You’ll want holes at either end of
your panel, of course – additional holes should be approximately
6" or so apart. If you’re using a heavy fabric, you can position
the grommets just below the top hem; with lightweight fabrics, you’ll
want additional reinforcement, so it’s a good idea to position the
grommets within the hemmed area. 6. Use the grommet tool to cut out the holes as marked; if your fabric is being stubborn, don’t despair! Grab some scissors and snip a small X at each mark, just wide enough to accommodate the grommets. 7. Now you’re ready to start attaching those grommets – just follow the instructions that accompanied your grommet tool. 8. Attach the curtain rings and hang up that curtain! get a printer-friendly set of directions o check
