Hi

I just made lined back pleated drapes. When I hung them I noticed that
there were some puckers in the fabric just below the buckram. Any
ideas where I went wrong and how I can correct my mistake? Thanks

Sounds like the fabric shifted while you were sewing. If the problem
isn't too severe, you might be able to steam out the puckers; if they
are extreme, you need to rip and re-sew in the opposite direction from
the way you sewed the first time. Teri

Thanks, I'll try that.
