Product Information

The draping process is informed by the choice of fabric and whether you intend to work with straight grain, a crosswise grain or bias, or the true 45º bias, which offers distinct draping qualities.

With these patterns, you should be able to pin your outfit back together using the main fabric and test it on your form before sewing it. If you use the bottom row, the top of the curtain is likely to just touch the rod and hide the hook completely.To view the purposes they believe they have legitimate interest for, or to object to this data processing use the vendor list link below. The Shirring Tape is usually just over 1” wide, so it can be used with both wider and narrower hems. If it’s not, simply unpin and fold the tape into small pleats between the loops, removing ease until the tape fits correctly and lays flat. Of course, you can also just play with the fabric and use its behavior as the basis of your design, but less experienced designers will be less frustrated when they have something to work off of.

Then, as you mention, the stitching that holds the tape in place also holds the hem and there is only one stitching line on the front of the panel. As mentioned in the introduction, the Shirring Tape is much narrower so you don’t need to have as deep a hem the way you do with the Rod Loop Tape or Clip Ring Tape. Yardstick: A wooden or metal ruler one yard in length (36 inches) that is marked in inches or metric terms, An aid for laying pattern pieces on the straight grain of the fabric or for measuring hemlines. Another strip of tape has to be pasted below the widest hip and under each bust to maintain contour.

The only thing to keep in mind is that most Rod Loop Tape is nearly 4” wide and most Clip Ring Tape is about 3¼” to 3¾” wide. French Curve Ruler: An irregular curve ruler used to shape and curve edges of collars, necklines, crotch seams, armhole and hip curves.
