Clip N Wave Tape - 6 Yards

Have a whole house full of curtains that weren't hanging properly (silk with a cotton backing - attached on the top and sides). It was pretty upsetting because I spent quite a bit of $ on them, and they didn't look nearly "as good as they cost".I even bought a good steamer, hoping that would make a difference. That got rid of wrinkles, but they still didn't hang well. I was thinking of buying something like aluminum wire or copper wire and use that to "force" the curtains to fold well.I ran across this option "by accident" and bought some.I have almost no sewing skills - used "Thermoweb Super Tape Double-Sided, 1/2-Inch by 6 Yards" - and that seems to be working quite well. With one panel, I tried e6000 craft glue - which worked, but not nearly as easy as the tape. If the tape doesn't hold over time, I'll put a little dot or two of e6000 here and there.Anyhow, this tape is really quite ingenious. When I did the first couple of panels, it was pretty "fiddly" and annoying to install. But once you get the hang of it, the curtain panels went fast fast fast.I installed it on the top AND the bottom of the panels. The panels are NOT clip or hook panels - some are back-tab and others are grommets. It works great for them. mMy only regret is that I didn't buy the bigger package - with the 6 yard packages, you can end up with an unfortunate amount of waste.

It works and the curtains look nice with elegant folds. However, it would be great if there were greater contrast so as to better see where to stitch and to better be able to identify the draw strings. Also, the nylon of the fabric is slippery. The tape is solid, which is good, and gives body to the top of the curtain, which is also good. I did find the process of installing this tape "fiddly" which was a little frustrating.

I’m very confused, all I received was the tape. No instructions, no clips, and the description on amazon doesn’t explain much. Whether the clips are supposed to be included or not, I have no idea because it didn’t come with any instructions. You think they would be included since they’re in the product main image and it’s called “clip n wave”. Given the vague online description, I was really hoping the instructions in the package would help but none were included. I have no idea how to use this other than I need to cut it to length and sew onto curtains. Beyond that, where are the clips? How do I fold it? What’s the string option I’m seeing in the Q&A? I will gladly change my review rating if I can get some answers as to why my package arrived missing critical information to use this item but currently, I’m disappointed and have to decide if I want to keep this or return for a different product.

I cannot properly review this item because there were no instructions. I thought the seller would have provided them. I don't even know what is up or down on the tape? HELP!

This is the first time I've used this tape as I always made pinch pleated drapes. I can use plain header tape and just clip the rings to the top of the tape so I can add more rings than the marks on this tape allow. The drapes do hang better than without a header tape but I'm not sure I would use this product again when I run out. I used it on 100% cotton and I'll probably try silk next to see how they hang.

Fantastic item! Easy to use and makes for very professional sheers without looking like grandma's house.

good product, but buy enough extra so you can make a test panel before you sew curtains for real. the youtube videaos make it seem easier to use than it really is.
