Thread Lace/Punch Lace
Studio/Singer 360
My curtain panels were made using 6/2 Cotton from Stephanies Yarns and serger thread. I would not use cotton again. A better choice would be a yarn that does not change so much with washing & hanging. Mine are OK because I have rods at top & bottom so when they start to sag I wash and rehang.
I used a modified punchcard No 2. (the diamond shapes I blocked out on the punchcard through the middle of the card made the nice soft pleats)CharmKnits © 2002

Edges and bottom hem will be "pressed" at finishing. I tried a zillion bottom hems, but decided on this one because it "made it's own points."
