craftgrrl | hemming help needed (Reply)

Bought ikea curtains (specifically, these) to accent the doorway to the bathroom. However, they have been nothing but hell to try to hang.

I used an iron-on webbing no-sew hem thingy to hem the first curtain. Unfortunately, it failed miserably: the hem was crooked, curving down at the bottom (and it was obvious). Ripped it off and not all of the webbing came off in one fell swoop. The curtain is undamaged (i.e. not ripped), but some of the webbing is still stuck to it. Tips on how to get it off would be greatly appreciated.

Another thing that would be appreciated is information on how to hem straight. The fabric is a slippery gauzy polyester. At this point, I'm tempted to just take pinking shears to it and hope I can cut in a straight line at last. Thoughts? I have a tabletop ironing board to work with, if that matters.

Last question: any other methods of hemming besides sewing, iron-on strips, or cutting?
