You should sew a straight cutain hem very slowly. Be sure to practice sewing straight lines on a similar fabric before you start your hem. You may want to use a blind hem, which hides almost all of the thread from view.

To hem a dress with the hem the same distance from the floor all around the hem, the person to wear the dress should put it on with the shoes she would most likely wear with the dress. After deciding the hem length, a friend, using a straight ruler or yard stick would then hold the ruler, end on floor, and at what ever height the wearer wants, pin the dress completely around at the desired hem length. The skirt fabric would then be trimmed the same length from the pins to the edge of the fabric, Then general hemming directions would be followed.

How do you sew a curtain?
I would need more information on what exactly you mean but if you mean about hanging pencil pleat curtains with string in the heading tape then what you do is get the three strings at one end of the curtain tape and tie a knot in them, do the same at the other end (therefore when you pull them the string wont come out!) Then pull one end of strings to your desired gather. If you have pulled out the strings by mistake because you haven't tied a knot first, then just take a large wool needle and thread the string back through the holes it came out of which should still be visable...then tie a knot, tying the three together once threaded through!
