Cutting Fabric for Making Tab Top Curtains

Hi, welcome to Expert Village, I'm Gretchen Soares with Butterfly Boutique. Okay, so the next thing we need to do is lay our fabric out so that we can cut it. I've already folded this and straightened it in to nice widths. So we're just going to roll this out nice and long cause when have a long eighty-one inch cut to make. Make sure that there are no undue wrinkles in there. Now the fabric stores never cut these straight at the bottom so what we're going to want to do is straighten this cut. Straighten this making sure the lines line up on the edge of the fabric and you want to go from the salvage cause that's the truest edge of the fabric. I'm going to draw a nice line on where we're going to cut it. Now we're going to measure up eighty-one inches. And we're going to make a mark at eighty-one here. Again making sure that we line up the edge of the ruler with the salvage, the truest straight piece of the fabric. And then all we have to do is follow the line and two. Now we have our piece we're going to be working with.
