1- Download the guide to see how to measure up for your curtain.
2- Sew fabric panels together with 1 cm seam allowance.Overlock/zigzag the seams.
3- Press the seam to one side.
4- Fold over the top edge by 1.5 cm and press.
5- The markings on the wave tape can be used as a guide to where to insert hooks, see point 8. You can therefore use the wide marking with 16 cm spacing. Measure 8 cm from the mark and cut the ends of the wave tape.
6- Place the wave tape along the folded edge at the top and 5 cm from the raw edge at the side. Marking at 16 cm intervals must face the folded edge of the curtain. Sew wave tape in place.
7- Fold over each outer side 2.5 cm and press, fold over another 2.5 cm and press. Sew the side hem.
8- Fold over the bottom 10 cm and press, fold over another 10 cm and press. Sew. We recommend adding zinc ribbon in the fold, it makes the curtain fall nicely.
9- Place the first hook 8 cm from the edge and the following ones at 16 cm intervals. Use the markings as a guide if necessary. Remember: always an even number of hooks. Before you hang your curtain on the rod, fit a 'curtain bug' around the outermost slider for each curtain section. To protect the edge of the curtain, you can install a pull rod to pull the curtain open and closed.
