I am making very full curtains 5 widths in each curtain . I have just checked for flaws and also to check the quantity.
However, the silk is a very loose weave with a slightly raised texture. As i was measuring and cutting out the fabric moved and the selvedges are wavy. They will move back into position , but then become wavy again. I am concerned that the seams will not sit properly.
Should I stay stitch the sides and the top and bottom?? If so should this be by hand or machine?
Also Phillip , you mentioned that the thread is cotton is this essential?Or can I use a mixed thread? Please help as I am in need of advice.
Should I put weights in each width?
