Curtain fabrics can be heavy (especially when lined), and fabric hanging off the table can pull the fabric making it harder to sew a straight seam.

Finish off the hem by stitching the facing down along the sides and across the pressed edge of the facing. Iron all your seams flat.Ironing your seams will make your curtain panels look so much nicer. It’s worth the extra work! Cut out eyelet holes in the fabric along the traced lines. Use fabric shears to carefully cut out the circles you just drew. Pinch the curtain fabric to create a small fold in the center of the circle, and clip this with your scissors. Cut across to the marked line and proceed to make small cuts all the way around the circumference of the circle. [16] X Research source
