"This is Vicki Walker for Expert Village. I have pinned our ricrac to the tab top shower curtain six inches from the top of the curtain and now I will sew it down with my sewing machine. I believe that what I'm probably going to need to do though, because the ricrac is as wide as it is and I don't want it curling up, especially after it's washed, it may tend to do that. So I am going to make two small two seams across. One at this edge of the ricrac and then one at near this bottom part of the wave. I'm going to turn under this little section on the side so that it doesn't jot out at the side of the shower curtain. Let me get started. I do it slowly just to make sure that I don't go off the edge on to the fabric because I'm afraid that the thread would show against that turquoise background. Then I'll continue slowly all the way across removing the pins as I get to them so I don't run over it. Besides ricrac just about any other kind of trim would also work, even ribbon being sewn across a contrasting pattern would also be pretty. A couple of rows of ribbon or even two different shades of ricrac or two rows of the same color of ricrac. I'll continue this all away across and then continue the second seam and that's how you sew the ricrac on the top of the curtain for trim."
