3 Things To Know Before Hemming Your Curtains
Imagine you found the perfect set of curtains for your home and you hang them up, and they are too long. This happens all the time, especially when shopping for curtains “off the rack” because you may need a length that isn’t a standard size like 84 inches or 95 inches.
Before you hem your curtains to the length you need, there are a few things you should know.
1. Measure More Than Once
Be sure before you start hemming that you are positive you know exactly what length you need. Keep in mind how you want the curtains to look when hanging. Do you prefer the curtains to just graze the floor, sit a half inch above the floor or pool out onto the floor? And don’t forget to measure from where the curtain rod is (or will be) rather than the top of the window.
2. Know Your Skills
Before taking on a DIY project like hemming curtains, consider the skills needed. Are you able to cut straight? Are you handy with a sewing needle and sewing machine? Do you know which supplies you will need and have access to them? If sewing is not your forte, pay a professional to handle the dirty work.
