Here are some commonly asked questions:
How to do motif matching on drapery fabrics--see my How to Make Curtains video
My iron--Hi Steam SVP-24 (they're not cheap, but they're fabulous!)
Drapery hardware info & installation--please see Lined drapery how-to Part 2
Drapery pins--you can buy drapery pins on Amazon--lots of sizes and prices
Portrait mode--I am sorry this video is in portrait mode. Honestly, I was just making drapes one day and my husband thought it would make a good video :) I never thought so many people would watch it (but I'm grateful you have!)
Interfacing the top of the drapery panel--I use iron-on fusible interfacing and cut it into 3 inch strips. It is more flexible than traditional drapery "crinoline". You don't have to use it, but it does give your drapes a bit more professional finish and protects your fabric from being torn by the drapery pins.
How to position the drapery pins--after I make the drape, I lay it flat on a table, wrong side up, and then put a drapery pin in each end (about 1/2" in from the end). I then figure out how many drapery rings I have and space out the rest of the drapery pins accordingly. I like to have about 5-7" between pins.
