Finding drapes in a size that works for every window in the house might be a challenge. You’d like to stay away from buying costly made-to-order drapes. Thus, they are frequently hemmed. One or two people probably know how to sew them. But some people, like me, either lacks the necessary skills or the means to use a sewing machine. There are two alternatives to sewing when hemming curtain alteration—quickly done!
With an iron-on fusing web, I finished the curtains’ hems. You’re free to do whatever you choose when the curtains are open. Never take them away. Curtains don’t need to be taken down to be hemmed.
Materials that fuse with an iron on a web (see above)
Tools needed to sew include pins, scissors, an iron, an ironing board, and cloth.
Instructions
You may get detailed guidelines on using the fusing web package once you are there. Let me elaborate.
- While the curtains are hanging, fold the bottoms inward.
- Stick pins help keep it folded and in place.
- Press the new fold in the curtain’s hem.
- Take out the pins and open the curtain a little past the fold.
- Flatten the underside and adhere the fusing web over the crease. Since this is a thick fabric, I needed two strips.
- Curtains could be hemmed without needing to sew with this.
- Refold it over the strips as instructed.
- Hold the iron wool above the flame for a full ten seconds. Proceed past the cloak. It’s best to keep at it until the pieces have merged. Verify the opposite side after it has cooled.
- Fusing the web can be activated by ironing.
- Hand hemming was used to complete the curtains.
- This method is both easy to implement and highly efficient.

This curtain’s hem was finished without the use of needle and thread by me.
Curtain rings are a lovely accessory, even if you do not need to alter the length of your drapes. I’m so in love with how it looks that I bought three other curtain sets in that pattern. Extra height can be added to excessively short drapes. Since I needed to shorten these curtains, I folded over the excess fabric and secured it with curtain rings.
I started by tucking in the curtain.
There is a lack of modesty on display.
Not enough winging got us there. I snipped off the surplus and tucked in the frayed end. Success!
And then I ironed in a crease.
When cutting away the excess, leave a flap of a few inches.
The iron will help you make a crisp fold. Straighten out the line by aligning the ends.
The edge is creased and folded
Hide the wrinkle by folding over the edge.

Right, go ahead and ring it!
Tie up your hems with curtain rings!
Curtains can be hemmed without needle and thread with the help of curtain rings.
It’s hard even to see the fold.
Wow, those curtain rings are top-notch.
I preferred curtain rings because they finished the edges without the need for stitching.
Instead of using clips to conceal the raw edge, fold it down and secure it with the iron-on fusing web.
Sheets and tablecloths can be converted into curtains using curtain clips.
