sallykate Jul 2020 10:42am, 8 Jul 2020 6,693 posts	0 sallykate One pattern I saw said 4 gauge; 4, 6 and 8 could be considered lightweight (apparently - I'm no expert!)

runnyeyes Jul 2020 12:17pm, 10 Jul 2020 1,762 posts	0 runnyeyes Some advice.. if anyone can help. First time making curtains.. and I have to sew this eyelet heading tape to the top. The lining fabric will be cut away. Any suggestions how I keep the stiff plasticy heading tape in position? I can’t pin it.. too stiff. I guess I need to get an extra needle as well? It feels like a stiff canvas.
