  • Press under 1/2" on the bottom of the curtain.
  • Press under the amount you allowed for a hem, keeping the ends aligned.
  • Machine blind stitch or top stitch the hem in place. Note: The hem shown in the photo is a double hem on a sheer fabric curtain. To achieve this type of hem, replace the second 1/2" with the amount of hem desired before you cut the fabric.
