If you are doing tabs, you want the tabs to able to line up on the rod without them scrunching. Figure out how much "bump" you want between the tabs. Do you want a flat look (tabs spaced with the window curtain mostly flat) or do you want bumps or waves between the tabs? If you are doing appliqué I would keep the drape mostly flat so you can see the designs.
I like my drapes to go about 2-3 inches beyond the window frame. I like no light to come around the curtain edge. It's not morning, until I say it's morning!
