How to Hem Sheer Curtains?

Measure the desired finished length and mark it with pins or fabric chalk

Hang the curtain and let it settle for 24 hours before hemming if needed

Remove the curtain and lay it flat on a clean surface

Trim any uneven edges if necessary

Fold the bottom edge up to the marked hemline

Press the fold lightly with a low-heat iron if the fabric allows

Fold again to create a clean double hem

Pin the hem in place along the entire edge

Use a needle and thread for a hand-sewn hem or a sewing machine with a fine needle

Sew a straight stitch close to the inner folded edge

Keep stitches small and even

Remove pins as you sew

Trim excess thread after sewing

Rehang the curtain and check the length

Adjust and re-hem if needed
