This is often done badly, creating a poor appearance. The main thing
is to space the hooks out evenly along the length of the curtain. To
do this, count the number of hanging loops on the curtain and divide
by the number of hooks you have minus 1. This makes the curtain hang
evenly. Have a plastic hook at least every 4 loops for good result.


Or the rough and ready approach. Put a hook at each end and one in the
middle then put a hook in the middle of each span. Keep halving the gaps
until you've added enough hooks, i.e. 3, 5, 9, 17, 33, 65 ... Halving
the gap doesn't need to be too accurate and can be done quickly by eye.



Yes. The point of that bit of the article is to explain how to do it
neatly.
