I laid the top fabric on the cutting board or floor, smoothed the wrinkles out of the lining, pinned it down and stitched the seams. It is fine but still wavy in some places. Good luck.

Well, today I had some time to look at this liner a little closer and I can't believe it. Dorothy you are right the liner is not "squared" on all four sides. I thought I was being so so careful to measure exactly and cut just right. :oops: :oops: Well, I'm glad to know and tomorrow I'll square it up and double check the other panels before I put the lining with the draperies. Sure glad I saw this before I got any further and had all your ideas and help with it.
