I have lace that is 100in wide and i need this full length for my windows. There is a scallop along the bottom, and i don't know how i should hem it.
I can not railroad the material, as it is a definite one way design. Help!!

I'm not really clear to what your question is :confused: but if you don't want or need the scallop, just cut if off to make the bottom straight, then either turn up a double 4" hem and hand or blind stitch, or you can turn up a double 1/2" hem and use double sided fusible tape.

"hem" the top, if you want to leave the scallopped bottom in tact.

Yes, i plan to hem the top, but the bottom is still a problem. The scallop bottom just feels so unfinished, and i need to keep it, as without , the drapes would be much too short.
