<div dir="auto">As Bill said, sewing curtains is not the same as sewing a garment. You need a much bigger workspace. If you can get it clean enough and keep it clear the stage can work. If you are making a flat panel without fullness the sewing is not that
hard, although a few people may be needed to manage getting the material through the machine </div>

<div dir="auto">Duvetyne is cheap, but if you get the FR material be aware that you can't wash it without removing the FR chemicals. IFR velour would be a better choice if you can afford it.</div>

<div dir="auto">Consider making a few smaller panels to tie overlapped rather than one ginormous panel covering the entire wall. They will be lighter to install and more versatile for other uses.</div>
