How to Fit your Curtain Pin Hooks and Hanging your New Curtains

You will need to insert your pin hooks to the top of your curtain approx every 5 to 6 inches apart. Start with a pin hook about 2 inches in from one side and work your way across. Then finish off with the last pin hook 2 inches from the other side. Nearly forgot you need to make sure you end up with an even amount of pin hooks in each curtain. This is critical to make them hang properly. You will see why when you come to hang.

If you find the last couple of hooks to close or to far apart then work your way back a few pin hooks along to even up the spacing.

Now to hang your new NO SEW wave curtains. You need to make sure before you hang your curtains that your decorative rod or track has an even amount of rings or hook gliders.

Next start to put your pin hooks into the rings or gliders. Making sure you have the right curtain hung on the right side. The half widths of curtain should be on the outside ends of your rod or track.

The stiff buckram header on your curtains will make hooking up your curtains a little awkward so take your time and bend it back and forth a bit.

Now you have your curtains all hooked up and hanging. The next job to do is to move the stiff header into position. To create the “Wave” effect we want we need push and pull the header back and forth. This creates the effect we need.

After you hung and dressed your curtains you will need to tie them into their pleats for a few days. This is to “train” them to hold their pleats. This is very simple as I have in the photo below use strips of polythene or anything else to hand.  The fabric I used in these curtains hung very well straight away. Usually though it won't.

So you will need to tie more than one band around the bottom of your curtains. I usually tie one bottom, middle and top. Then leave for a few days. If they still don't hang as well as you would like then tie them up for a few more days. So there you have it all very simple just follow the guide step by step and you can't go far wrong.
