  4. While the curtains are still damp slide butter knifes or other knives into the bottom hem on each end. Be sure to use something that won’t rust.
  5. The weight of the knives holds down and straightens the fabric
  6. Once the curtains are dry simply remove the knives
  7. The curtains will hang smoothly.

Linda Says:

If you notice a wrinkle once the curtains are dry, spritz with water and allow to dry with the knives weighting down the bottom of the curtains. Remove them when dry.
