Hidden Stitch Wave Heading For Lined Curtains
Channel: Windmill Curtain Room
Date: 2021-10-16

*Edit - at 38:20 I refer to the position of the top edge of the tape relative to the top edge of the curtain. In fact, the position of the top edge of the tape can vary depending on the combination of tape and track/pole used. I had just previously made some embroidered satin interlined Wave curtains (shown briefly in this video) and had to set the tape down by 7mm from the top of the curtain so that the pockets would be at the correct height to suit the track it was to be fitted to.*

In this video tutorial I show you how I have developed a structurally strong and super neat hidden stitch Wave curtain heading for lined curtains. Other names for the method are invisible Wave, no sew Wave or stitch free Wave heading and the is also known as Ripplefold in the USA. 

Wave is such a lovely neat style that it just feels wrong to machine sew the tape on at the top and have all those stitches showing on the front. This method uses buckram inside to give extra structure to medium and heavyweight fabrics, short or long.

The curtains I'm making here are in a beautiful Wemyss Fabrics velvet called Elara in the sandstone colourway and features a shimmery silver textured overprint for extra glamour.
