One more thing...pull a string on your fabric to make sure you are cutting on the straight of grain. Grain really makes a difference in how the panel will hang. If you do not cut and sew with the exact grain, your center line will swing to one side or the other...and drape weights will not fix this. That is why the cheap drapes in the stores aren't very nice.
