Anyone ever made quilted curtains?
Have been thinking for a long time about doing this, and having recently priced up curtains for our bedroom, have decided that it would be cheaper and more satisfying to use up some of my stash.
I was thinking of piecing the top, probably sampler quilt style, as I can't decide on one pattern!
Will they need wadding, or would that make them too heavy? I do have a roll of cotton wadding, but as to finding any other types, it is quite difficult to source here.
Backing, I was thinking calico (muslin?).
Quilting, this time for strength I was thinking machine quilting, even if there are only 2 levels.
For hanging from the curtain pole, I was thinking that I would buy curtain rings with clips on, to clip to the curtain. They don't have what I call normal curtain tracks here, like the UK, with the plastic hooks!!
Does this sound right?
