Mastering Basic Sewing Techniques
Mastering Basic Sewing Techniques
Achieving a professional finish starts with mastering the basic sewing techniques. If you patiently ensure that every cut and seam you make are as exact as possible, and you remember to tack your seams before sewing, use the iron to press your fabric as you work, and measure with complete accuracy, you are well on your way to making beautiful professional drapes and curtains for your home.
If you take your time to miter corners, finish your seams so they both look good and stay secure for years to come, and hem properly, curtains will hang beautifully and look professional whether viewed from inside your room or from the outside through the window. Curtains should look good on both the back and the front of the fabric.
If you learn to bind and pipe properly, attach fastenings such zips professionally, and fix gathers and frills with confidence, then your curtains and soft furnishings will stand up to the test of time and always look professionally made.
