How to hang muslin
What is muslin upon closer inspection, before it ends up on the eaves? A muslin curtain consists of individual threads gathered along one side with a knitted ribbon. The knitted tape may already be stitched, and you just need to thread the cornice through it - you can immediately put it in place. But most often they are required minimal effort to bring the muslin curtain into working condition, so that you can then use it for several years. The best way will sew the curtain tape to a thick knitted edge, gather it to the length of the cornice, secure it and hang it on hooks or clips. Next, the length is adjusted: if the muslin is planned as an additional decor, the threads are selected with tiebacks, clamps, gathered into a bundle, and so on. If the muslin will be used as a curtain, it must be trimmed. The cut threads do not require additional processing, but you can decorate the bottom with beads and pendants - then they will be less dependent on the wind from the window.
Caring for filament curtains
Even such an undemanding curtain needs to be washed periodically, and this must be done so that the threads do not get tangled. The muslin removed from the curtain rod is braided or tied in three or four places with a cloth (a bandage will do) and placed in a bag specially designed for washing delicate items in the machine. Tights are often used as a bag: denser fabric will prevent the threads from getting tangled, even if the braid unravels or the safety fabric comes undone. Wash with detergent for delicate fabrics. From the washing machine, the muslin can be immediately hung on the curtain rod; the curtain dries very quickly.
