Prepare your curtain or sheer curtain for the hem
Before carrying out the hem, we advise you to iron your curtain to defeat it from the folds that could have been created in the packaging, then to suspend it a few days to allow the material to relax.
A first machine washing or a first dry fabric care can also shrink the curtain, especially if it is made up of natural fibers (linen, wool, cotton, etc.). Prefer a first fabric care before making a hem or add a few centimeters to the hem to anticipate a possible shrinkage.
Make a hem with the iron-on tape
There are two types of iron-on tapes: one with protective paper, thicker, it is mainly used for curtains, the other without protective paper, finer, it is particularly suitable for sheer curtains.
The installation technique is slightly different depending on the type of iron-on tape.
