It's Hobbs Thermore wadding (sorry, batting!) and I SITDed only through the vertical seams. I think that made a difference. I used those little curtain rings with the clips about every 4" and it hangs in folds really well. Plus I didn't have to sew on curtain tape - nice n easy does it, everytime! :mrgreen: Quick to take down and wash too! 8)

I'm definitely going to make curtains like this when we convert the attic - we want to keep the windows that are all ready up there because they're original but only single glazed; so they'll get the quilted treatment! :D

Izy just for you, here's a pic of the wall hanging of 'our house'!
