Penelope told the suitors that she would weave a tapestry, and once she was finished, she would marry one of the suitors. Penelope weaved during the day, but secretly undid her work at night.

Penelope tricks the suitors by telling them she will choose a new husband once she finishes weaving a burial shroud for Laertes, but she secretly unravels the cloth every night. This delay tactic gives Odysseus time to return home and deal with the suitors himself.

How did Penelope trick the suitors their demands marriage?
I think you may be referring to when Penelope tells the suitors that she will make a decision to marry one of them after she is done weaving a web of yarn. However, she was just misleading them; she untangles the work done every night for a year (I think so, that is just an estimate). However, a maid who was aware of this outs this to the suitors. When the suitors are made aware of this, they are outraged and force her to finish weaving.
