Do you stab above or below the rod pocket

Thank you so much for showing this. Great detail thank you

You didn't finish by doing the cutting. I always get a crooked cut with zig zag lines. My fabric is too large for the table. I will try and pull a thread for the length.

Hello Gill Thank you for sharing your wonderful creative pattern matching video! I appreciate your kind detailed step by step explanations resulting in my matching of fabric to be perfect too !! Best Wishes

Great video. I was wondering if you could mark the crease with a fade away pin so it would be easier to see while sewing?

Hi! Can I do this on a normal sewing machine with zig zag? If not, do you have another suggestion please?

Hello Gill. Just at the point in my (new) Drapery career at 61 , when the humble house steam iron is not good enough! just got a glimpse of your piped version, could you tell /recommend, what is the make/model? enjoying your videos, they are extremely helpful. kind Regards

Perfect tutorial for a novice. Thank you for such clear instructions. 😊

Fabulous. Thankyou.

Hi Gill, I've just found your tutorials and like them very much. I have made curtains before, with mixed success. I am about to embark on another curtain project and want to li e them with interlining, which I have never done before. Do you have any tutorials that will guide me from the start?

Thanks so much! I'm matching two printed sheets to cover a large bedroom window. You make it look easy.

Very helpful thank you 😊

Some very good tips. Thank you

I just use stitch witchery. No pins

Morning Gill Can you please help me? How do I calculate how much fabric I need with a pattern repeat of 106cm. Mu curtain drop is 300cm, curtain track 150cm. Thank you very much Anne

Thanks! 👍

Love this and your other videos are very informative, I will try interlingua that way it does make sense and I buy similar lining sew it all together then cut you just have to trust the process ❤

Where's the blog?

Thank you so much for taking the trouble to show this. I have had a pair of curtains sitting in a box as I keep missing the pattern match. I can’t wait to try your method.

Great video and super helpful, my fabric always came out lopsided 😢 Side note: You have very beautiful hair! Thanks again :) x

Hi Gill I have just discovered your videos. I used to be a professional curtain maker and I must say I like you style. Do you have newer videos or on line instructions. Mary

Hi Gill Really like your video on inserting buckram into the rod pockets on the blinds. Do you have a video on inserting eyelets and do you insert buckram at the heading? Where can I purchase the 2 inch buckram and your iron?

Thanks for the explanation. Do you see on eyelets after the bottom two rows or punch eyelets? If the latter, which machine do you use?

Thank youu so much for the tips 😍😍❤❤👍👍 Helps me a lot ❤❤ I love pattern matching

Very useful tutorial. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Have curtains that need interlining and have done it before but always by hand - thought there must be a faster easier way - came across your very clear and informative video - will do this today and just maybe these curtains will get finished before summer arrives!! haha

You must be a pro! Such ease! Were your measurements in cms? Worried stiff! Bought 7 yrds of floral medium hvy fabric that is 54in wide w 27" vertical repeat and 27 " horizontal repeat, not sure what this means cuz first time doing this. But I want to use fabric to cover one side of an existing light weight king comforter (104in /92in) to get a new look. Don't want a duvet. Then I want to puff up some of the florals to create a dimensional look but can't figure it out. Any ideas or suggestions?

Thank you very much ❤

This is great thank you! Would you do the same process for Blackout Bonded Interlining for inside a roman blind? Many thanks Claire

Thanks so much you are easy to understand and come across very well. made most of my curtains but never with interlining. needs must and looking at the thickness of my interlining i felt there would be a better way of joining the several widths. May borrow a interlock machine and buy one once trying it. Thanks again. Joy

I have also used this method on a woven tapestry fabric where there was no selvedge just loose threads and of course you can’t fold that type of fabric. Again it worked brilliantly. It has to perfect on Roman Blinds which is my business as you’re seeing the fabric flat but it is a joy to do now. Thank you Gill.

Absolutely love it. Thank you very much 😊

Hi Have you tried the slotted Roman blind tape? Is it good? It already has a built in pocket for the rod! If you can help me source where to buy that tape coz i need like a 1000 meters! Thanks

Going to try that today.

Thanks, exactly the tip I was looking for 😍

Brilliant as usual, Gill. Thank you.

I machine on the table after struggling with pleats on an industrial machine. I've recently started sewing from the bottom up so much easier! I will try your tip on interling down first next time.

Very informative Gill, thanks, I will give this a try!

Many thanks for taking the time to share your tips . I have just finished making some interlined curtains however I wish I had seen your videos sooner as your way seems to make a lot more sense . Trying to overlap keeping the tensions right and sewing a straight line down the middle of the interlining isn't easy for a beginner .Your way looks so much better. Also sounds like a great idea to lay interlining down first. I will definitely try this next time .

Fantastic tutorial . Keep them coming . Michelle in Northern Ireland 🌺

Awesome, never really thought about this. This is brilliant!!! Thanks again!!

Hi. This is a great video, and reassuring to see that this is how I make cushions, but I was interested to see that you don't appear to trim the corners off. I do this but often wonder whether it's worth the bother?

Thank you Gill I’m going to try this today 🤞🤞

Thank you so much for this..very informative..will surely try this

Your hair is lovely..beautiful cut..falls nicely..gorgeous natural looking greys..thanks for video.

Gill. Thank you, absolutely brilliant. I had a ditsy pattern - used many pins but wow did it work.

Love your method of pattern matching, thank you so much Gill x

So simple. Thank you!

To get the crease, do you just measure 3 or 4cm from the edge and press?

Genius! Just wish I'd seen this last week when I was joining masses of interlining 🙄
