I have made a number of single or 1 1/2 width drapery panels and I have always encountered the length at the side hems is shorter than the center of the panel. I have used the technique of measuring across the panel from the bottom and marking it, but I am now working with a horizontal pinstripe and there is some distortion of the stripes at the top of the panel. I have squared my fabric, cut off all salvages and even snipped in the fabric every couple of inches in the side hem but am still coming up short on both side ends of the panel. Is there something I can do to avoid this problem in the future?
