I have been given three pairs of single width, tab headed curtains to make into 1" gathered headings. There is only just enough length in them. When I came to try and find the pairs, not one of them matched! and there was no horizontal repeat. I spent hours trying one against the other, reversing left & right etc. Eventually i decided to lay them down and match them to one particular point on the fabric. I ended up with 3 pairs stepped at different levels from that point. Great I thought, but the realised that each 'pair was out of line by 10cm. This meant that when I hung them it was obvious that one curtain was slightly higher than the other. Would I be better using one from a long pair with one from a short pair so that the pattern is totally off line rather than just a little? The fabric is handsewn crewel work. Any Ideas would be welcome.
