Instruction
1. Measure wall height from floor to eaves. Add to this number 30-40 cm (depending on diameter of eyelets).
2. Determine length of curtain, having increased window width by drapery coefficient. The coefficient 2 will be suitable for this type of curtains. I.e. if window width, for example, of 2 m, is required to you 4 meters of fabric.
3. If the bottom edge of future curtain is not processed, hem it, having twisted 2 times on 1 cm and having stitched on the machine. Also sheathe cloth sides.
4. Measure curtain length in the hemmed state and cut off as much lyuversny tape. It is necessary for strengthening of upper part of curtain on which fixtures will be installed. Width of lyuversny tape has to be more outer diameter of eyelets on 3-4 cm.
5. Put tape on reverse of curtain and align to the top. Turn in fabric together with tape 2 times and pin pins on all length. Press this podgib. Press the iron so much time that fabric with tape have managed to be glued, but glue has not come out. After that stitch top on the machine.
6. Measure 5 cm from the left edge of curtain and at this level give mark in the center of podgib. The center of the first eyelet will be located here. The distance to the following fixture has to make from 15 to 20 cm count it so that on cloth the even number of eyelets has gone in. Distance from the upper edge of rings to curtain top – about 2 cm.
