Sewing lead cord to curtains is an important step in making sure your curtains hang perfectly and maintain their shape. Whether you’re sewing new curtains or looking to replace the lead cord on your existing ones, this step-by-step guide will walk you through the process. Before we get started, make sure you have the necessary materials handy:
  • Curtains
  • Lead cord
  • Thread
  • Sewing machine or needle
  • Scissors
  • Safety pins

1. Prepare Your Curtains

Start by laying your curtains flat on a clean surface. If there are any existing lead cords attached, use scissors to carefully remove them. Ensure that your curtains are clean and ironed before proceeding.

2. Cut the Lead Cord

Measure the length of the curtains, and cut the lead cord to match this length. It’s always a good idea to add a couple of extra inches to ensure you have enough cord to work with.

3. Thread Your Sewing Machine

If you’re using a sewing machine, thread it with a thread color that matches your curtains. If you’re sewing by hand, choose a strong thread that will securely hold the lead cord in place.

4. Pin the Lead Cord

Starting from one end of the curtain, fold a small section of the fabric over the lead cord. Use safety pins to secure the fabric in place, ensuring that the lead cord is fully enclosed.

5. Sew the Lead Cord

Now, it’s time to sew the lead cord to the curtain. If you’re using a sewing machine, set it to a medium stitch length. Sew as close to the edge of the folded fabric as possible, ensuring that the lead cord is held securely. If you’re sewing by hand, use a backstitch to achieve a strong hold.

6. Repeat for the Entire Length

Continue folding the fabric over the lead cord and sewing it in place, working your way along the entire length of the curtain. Take your time to ensure that the lead cord is evenly spaced and that the fabric is folded neatly. This step is crucial in achieving a professional finish.

7. Finishing Touches

Once you’ve sewn the lead cord along the entire length of the curtain, trim any excess thread or fabric. Give your curtains a final press with an iron to remove any creases or wrinkles caused during sewing.

Congratulations! You’ve successfully sewn lead cord to your curtains. Hang them up and admire the perfect drape and shape they now have. Remember, practice makes perfect, so don’t worry if your first attempt isn’t flawless. With time, you’ll become a pro at sewing lead cord to curtains.

Happy sewing!
