How do you sew in the drapery weight chain into the bottom of a sheer curtain? I think this is called a Euro hem.
Thanks in advance.

Serge it, using a piping foot, or better yet, a beading foot, just like sewing strings of beads on... Like this: http://192.38.244.16/access_vs_new/acce_detail2.asp?RECORD_KEY=id&id=218
I've never sewn in chains. Usually I just position them in the hem and tack them strategically from the wrong side so they can be easily removed for laundering or dry cleaning. Never heard it called a "Euro-hem" either.

You could do it with a serger:

just slip the chain through the finished hem and anchor at each end.
