TemperatureCharlesI was unable to readily identify the correct temperature setting for my iron to melt the adhesive while not damaging the curtain fabric
Works wellMichelleMakes hemming easy, unless a fabric is heat sensitive, I found putting a cotton cloth over the top doesn't make it melt very well.
couldnt be happierBethdoes exactly what it says it does. easy to use. hems curtains really well.
Hemming stripAlisonSaved me loads of time sewing for putting up curtains in a hurry.
Really surprisedRebeccaI thought this wouldn't really work that well but i was really surprised. Easy to use and so far so good! Would like a bit wider for peace of mind.
Love the curtains and they arrived very quickly. JacquelineThe curtains are just what I wanted. They look fabulous in the bedroom and I will be ordering more. My first online IKEA purchase was a positive experience.
A stitch in time made much easier.ClareThe Iron-on tape works well to keep an accurate hem line in place. I always reinforce with hand sewing or machine on heavier curtains like velvet curtains. The tape does need careful handling as it is delicate and can break while unrolling onto the fabric it's easiest to lay it out on the hem fold on an ironing board but once ironed on under a damp cloth it works well. On lighter fabrics I find its a quick and reliable way to add a hem without sewing. I haven't washed with the tape n as yet but it does make turning up hems on fabric much faster.

Great if you hate sewingEmmaSaves me from having to sew my curtain hems. Definitely need 2 strips for sheer curtains so I suggest 3 for heavier curtains.

No sew but I found if you pin it in place works better.PatriciaNo sew for curtains and I’ve used it for hems my pants ,shorts etc
Excellent productAnonymous reviewerI wish I used this earlier on my IKEA curtains. I have had long trailing curtains for years and this has completely changed the professional look in every room.
It does work on heavy curtains - I used on heavy IKEA blackouts. Just make sure you use iron on high steam mode and I used a wet tea-towel to encourage steam and protect the curtain from the high heat (first press realised the curtain didn't like high heat and marked). Allow to dry before testing the seams.
