- Don't iron curtains before you hang them - the creases will soon drop out.
- Take the weight of the fabric on your right shoulder (if you're right-handed), draping the curtain so that the heading tape is to the front. This makes hooking the curtains onto the track far less tiring.
- To encourage your curtains to hang evenly, open them and arrange the hemmed edges into neat folds, 15-20 cm (6-8 in) deep. Tie a ribbon or string loosely around each curtain to hold the folds in place, then run your thumb and forefinger up and down each fold to make a sharp crease. Leave the ribbons in position for two or three days before removing them and closing the curtains.
