Help! I'm sewing some drapery panels and the pattern says to "turn facing to inside and SLIPSTICH all EDGES IN PLACE." I know that this is probably a stupid question....but do I actually slistich the facing to the drapery panel (so that you will be able to see some stitching form the right side) or do I just slipstich the hem of the facing under? THANKS!!

You should slipstitch the [turned under] edge of the facing to the drapery panel, so the facing is held in place.

When doing the slipstitch, you want to just catch a thread of the drapery panel, so the stitches won't really show on the right side.
