Before you start cutting curtains, you need to prepare the fabric. First we need to carefully examine the available material for defects, if any, they should mark and try to leave scraps of fabric, so as not to spoil the appearance of the finished product.
If the material does not look quite smooth, it is better to iron before cutting, and then determine the front side and a wrong side. Sometimes it's easy, but if the color side little different and hard to tell the difference shades, you can look to the edge as punctures in the tissue sent from the inside on the front side. Fabrics, shrinkable, you can not sew without desizing procedures, or they sit much at the first washing. Therefore it is necessary to dampen the cloth and to steam it several times.
Then you need to spread out the fabric on a flat surface and look at the structure of the filaments, if there is bias, cut out the fabric should be particularly sensitive, trying to neutralize the defect. Before layout patterns is necessary to evaluate the location of the picture, its symmetry and direction of the pile fabric. This will not only skillfully cut out curtains, but also to make both paintings identical in pattern. Especially careful to work with the pile fabric, as a slight change in the direction of the pile on composite parts curtains create the illusion that it is sewn from fabric in different shades. Therefore, determining the direction of the pile, it must be marked by arrows on the reverse side.
Curtains are cut immediately pairs. That is, both the fabric curtains are folded together so that coincided drawing pins and baste along the edge to avoid displacement of the tissue. Then cut out the basic details, starting with the largest and ending with the smaller, cutting that utilizes cutting.
Since the pattern curtains have SEAM, this should remember when cutting, leaving all sides not less than 1 cm, and the top and bottom fabric more than 10 cm. At hem. If you use a fabric with a large pattern, it should ideally be the same on both the curtains. If the fabric has a monochrome or small patterns, it is enough to simply have the curves in one direction.
After cutting you can start carving details using the handy tool: a thick cloth easier to cut conventional tailoring scissors, crumbling fabric - pinking shears and cutting more convenient to use the same parts with a rotating cutter head.
