The only way to not show a 'seam' not a hem is to buy the tape that you put on with an iron. Lay it over the bottom of the material you have folded over and iron on to the back. You have to have a hem or the material will unravel.
Yes, it is called "stitch witchery" I just found a roll of it at our town swap shop. It comes in very handy.
Hi ! Buy a product called stitch witchery or fuseable tape. This comes in a toll usually 1/4-1/2 inch wide . It is a thin fixable
Webbing or fabric/ paper like material. It is not sticky !!!
Where ever you want to make a hem , use an iron to make your hemmed edge. I like to fold over and iron the tiniest edge amount 1st then again to make a crisp hem. Then cut a piece of the tape and slip between the fabric of your hem. Make sure none is sticking out. Next place a clothes over the area and place a heated iron over the area for about 10-15 second.
It will fuse the material together with no sewing !!!
2 ways ..........sew them with blind stitch best for heavy fabric & lasts forever this video shows it on dress/skirt but same thing--- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5yyHj4ZnpE one more on blind stitch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-glaaf_dY0E or hem with hemming tape hem tape videos https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=diy+hemming+curtains+with+hem+tape depending on how heavy material is for curtains and frequency of washing may not last you can also use fabric glue https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=DIY+hemming+curtains+with+fabric+glue
Hi Pam. I purchased a no sew product. You cut it to size and then iron it in the seam to bond it together. It was easy and worked well but I did find it made the seam stiffer.
