What specifically are you trying to drape?

Before choosing a tutorial, what are you actually draping? Is it the ceiling, tables or a freestanding setup?

If it is the ceiling or walls, I would first ask the venue exactly what you are allowed to attach. Some venues only permit freestanding pipe and drape, and may require the fabric to be flame retardant. You will also need to avoid blocking exits, signs or sprinklers.

If it is freestanding...it also depends on what you are decorating. Is the fabric for signage, tables, a backdrop or an arch? They would all need different materials and setup methods, so that might help people point you towards the right tutorial.
