I've been gathering materials together and I'm just about ready, but I have a question that is looking for opinions...
Should I sew in hems and casing first or wait until the pattern is embroidered? I don't think the stitching will cross into the hems... In fact I'm thinking that instead of stitching I'm going to applique the dark red outline band.
Maybe.
What are thoughts?
Oh, here's a picture to remind you...
Also... I took a short workshop in tatting this past Fall and I'm going to mix in some tatted flowers with the embroidered ones around the dark blue areas. I've the perfect color thread!

I would assemble the curtains first, then embroider and applique. I wouldn't extend the embroidery into the rod casing.
But you can do as you like...
I tend to agree...that way you can be absolutely sure of your placement of embellishments. Can't wait to see it!!
I agree too. I can't wait to see the tatted flowers added to the embroidery. It will be lovely. Good luck.
Your project sounds jolly hard! I'm waiting with baited breath to see the finished result ;-)
If the curtain has direct sunlight the tablecloth will bleach out---it happened to me....
I like the idea of stitching over the flowers, though!
I love ribbon embroidery. They're just marvelous.

I would finish the curtains also - you just never know! They are very pretty - look forward to seeing yours finished. I crochet and have tatted a little - I need to get a tatting project going - you're inspiring me - well maybe after Christmas.
I agree with finishing the curtains first:) & I can't wait to come back & see them finished!
