need to lug out your sewing machine because you're going to use hem tape. And I love this stuff because it fuses the fabric together and keeps your fold in place for a no-sew hem . It's great. You use the crease as your guideline, and you're going to lay your tape up along the crease, like this. Fold over your fabric, like this, and then iron. And I like to snip off the hem tape after ironing it into place. In that way, it kinda has a tendency sometimes when you iron that the hem tape will kind of shrivel into the fabric area, and so, if you wait until you cut it at the end, you'll be guaranteed that you'll have enough of the hem tape showing so the fabric doesn't fray. We're just gonna iron all away around your curtains. Now, I wanna show how easy

using this cute ribbon, and I'm gonna iron that into place using hem tape, and I love this product because you don't have to sew anything. You just lay the hem tape down where you want the ribbon to go and iron it on top! Cut a piece of hem tape, and you wanna have it overlap about an inch on each side. Take the ribbon, measure it out like this, and again, cutting about an inch on the side there. And the good thing about this is that you can fold it over and create a nice little edge seam there. Line up exactly where you want the ribbon to go with your hem tape. Place the ribbon on top, and then all you're gonna do is iron! And the hem tape will fuse it to the washcloth. And it's as easy as that! No sewing involved. And what you're gonna wanna do
