Making a French tack.

LINING

‘Sew-on’ or ‘pin-on’ weights.

Lined drapery with pleater tape heading.

Side hems tacked to insure evenness.

When using a tape with woven-in pockets for pleater pins, allow 2″ above the rod for heading and seam. See instructions under the section [Unlined Draperies] for joining tape to heading. Join lining; then clip and press seams. Turn drapery to right side and pin lining to bottom of tape, overlapping ¼″. Stitch and press; then finish side hems above lining by hand.
