This was sooo useful..my curtains were opening but only one was closing..when I found that little thing you had to hook it over..they worked! Thank you so much..
I just found your channel!! Been sewing for years but have not been confident enough to tackle pinch pleated drapes until now. Thank you so much for your lessons. I have an ugly sliding glass door that I'm going to attempt first. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for the videos concerning traverse rod drapes. I’ve watched them each multiple times to make sure I’m calculating correctly. Does the material needed for the side hems need to be added Ed into the calculations?
+Tony Cellucci That is actually a very good question! The 10" you are referring to are the returns and overlap and are located at each end of the drapery panel before the first pleat and after the last pleat and are always flat. The drapery fulness only applies to the "face" width of the rod itself and considered the "pleated area". I know it's pretty confusing!
I'm sorry but this is completely false information! EVERY drapery we make has double turned 1-1/2" side hems professionally blind stitched with 1" weights in corners. Because the hems are blind stitched and not straight stitched it may appear there not present, even when you watch my roman shade videos you will notice side hems.
No not really! Traverse rods are made for pinch pleated draperies and the reason for this is that a pinch pleated drape has spaces between the pleats that bend when opening and closing. Also has a stiffener at the top!
