Curtwin weights

[Timetoread]

I recently bought some curtains that I need to take up. They are quite thick and heavy but I think they will look better with weights. The question is, do I put in a long rope (first link) or individual squares (second link)

I always use the fabric covered square weights.

The need to be sewn to the bottom of the fabric length at each end and at half fabric width intervals (so about every 70cm.) When you fold up a double hem the will rest on the bottom crease.

No experience of using the lead weight rope.

The easiest way to take curtains up it to take the header tape off and sew it on again further down.
