How do I hem my curtains with iron-on hemming tape?
Shorten your curtain by a few centimetres with Moondream iron-on hemming tape. Prepare your hem, then follow our three steps to secure it with an iron.
Iron-on hemming tape is supplied with Moondream curtains, except for room divider curtains and Premium models.
Prepare your hem
Hang your curtain to determine the desired length, then pin the hem across the full width.
Take the curtain down and lay it flat with the hem facing up, ready to position the iron-on hemming tape.
Secure your hem in three steps
Before you begin, check your curtain’s ironing instructions to set the iron to the appropriate temperature.
Step 1 / 3
Position the tape
Place the iron-on hemming tape on the fabric, paper side facing up. Press the tape with a hot iron, then remove the protective paper.
Step 2 / 3
Fold the fabric
Fold the fabric at the marked length to form the hem and cover the iron-on hemming tape. Check that the fold is even across the full width.
Step 3 / 3
Iron the hem in place
Press the hem with a hot iron to secure it. Allow it to cool before handling the fabric, then hang your curtain.
For soundproof curtains
Due to their weight, we recommend adding a few stitches to reinforce the hem.
