Which direction do your windows face?
• East-facing windows offer warm, bright light,
especially in the morning.
• In the summer months window coverings will
prevent your home from heating up as fast.
888-201-3863
15
• West-facing windows admit the hottest,
haziest light of the day.
• The west sun is the hottest of them all.
• Using interlining will insulate your west
windows and give you a 350 R Factor against
the sun and heat.
888-201-3863
16
• North-facing windows offer the clearest, most
consistent light and the coldest exposure.
• Typically does not get a lot of heat but it is
always good to insulate your draperies when
living in a colder climate.
888-201-3863
17
• South-facing windows receive good light yearround, and cast a warm, golden glow on room
interiors.
• Living in a hot climate like Arizona the
morning sun will also heat up your home.

Fabrics – Drapery 101
•
Cotton – The strongest of the natural fabrics. Cotton is very commonly used as
drapery fabric because of its versatility. It dyes well, comes in a wide range of color
choices and allows air to pass through it.
•
Silk – Silk is a beautiful fabric for window drapes. It comes in a variety of weights
and is long wearing and durable. Some of the finest oriental rugs that have lasted
for several hundreds of years are made of silk.
•
Linen – Linen is light, casual and has a fine luster. It is also a very strong fabric and
is stain-resistant. But, linen also wrinkles easily so it is best to use some sort of
lining material when using this type of fabric for draperies.
•
Acrylic or Polyester – This is a great synthetic fabric to blend with a natural fabric
like cotton to increase durability. It is also colorfast (color will not run or fade with
washing or wear), stain-resistant and has sun-resistant qualities not found in
natural fabrics like cotton and linen.

Linings – Drapery 101
By using layers of drapery linings you can create up to a 310 R Value for window coverings. The layering
effect can be used in draperies and roman shades. It will change a hot shinny summer home to a cool
relaxed and livable space for your family.
The most effective layering is using face fabric (decorator fabrics), layer of interlining, and a heavier
drapery lining such as Classic Sateen or Classic Nap. Lining also available in many colors.
Temp Assure Drapery Linings create an
insulating air barrier between the drape and
lining material that actually raises the R-Value
rating of a window, making it more energy
efficient. The unique surface construction of
Temp Assure Linings greatly improves its
ability to trap air and form an insulating
barrier that prevents thermal loss.
Our Hanes Linings can increase the R-Value as
much as 300% over unlined drapes!

Measuring – Drapery 101
How to measure for fabric
•
•
Window is 100” wide
(4-6” beyond window )
From floor to hang height 108”
100”x2.5= 250”wide
Divide by 54”(width of fabric) = 5 widths approximately
Height is 108” plus 18” for hem and header = 126”
126” x 5 widths = 630 inches of fabric
Divide by 36”(yard)
630” divided by 36” = 17.5 yards of fabric needed

Fabricating – Drapery 101
• There are no universal criteria, but custom drapery
workrooms usually have certain standards for constructing
window treatments.
• Fabric pattern repeats match.
• Seams are serged.
• Drapery weights are used on seams and corners.
• A return is the distance from the
rod to the wall.

Why Serge? What is a Serger?
• A sewing machine used for overcasting to
prevent material from fraying at the edge
FEATURES
• Opens up for easy access to lower looper
• Differential feed for stretchy fabric
• Roll edge stitch
• Automatic thread trimmer
• Color coded threading
• Individually tested and sewn-off before
shipping
Why Spend hundreds of dollars for features
you will never use?
Order a Dreamstitcher $399.00
888-201-3863
33
• Double-side hems are 1-1/2” finished (form them by folding
the fabric to the wrong side 3” from the outer edge, then
bringing the edge to the fold and press again). Double bottom
hems are 4” finished (formed like side hems), and all hems are
blind-stitched in place.
Side hems sometimes are proportioned
to size of drapery.
888-201-3863
34
• Lining is used where applicable and is 1
in. shorter than the face fabric of the
drapery or valance.
The lining is 1” above the fabric hem
888-201-3863
35
Buckram
• Pinch-pleated headings are usually 4” high, have three-finger
folds in each pleat, and are stabilized with buckram.
• Non-Woven Permanent Drapery Buckram, 4" Widths NonWoven, can be washed or dry-cleaned.
• Iron On Buckram – polyester
• Available at Home Fashions U

• The minimum-fullness standard is two and a half times the
finished-width measurement for midweight fabrics and three
times for sheers.
• Important to remember: Upholstery fabric should not be used
for drapery panels. It is usually railroaded and the pattern is
going in the wrong direction

Sewing a Drapery Panel
1. Cut Face Fabric
888-201-3863
40
2. Cut Lining
Workroom Canvas Table Grid 4’x8’ to 5’x12”
888-201-3863
41
3. Cut Interlining
• Interlining will allow you draperies to hang beautiful as well as adding
insulation.
888-201-3863
42
4. Serge Interlining or ZigZag if you do not have a serger.
888-201-3863
43
5. Hem face fabric 4” double fold hem
For a professional look use Blind Stitch Machine
888-201-3863
44
6. Hem lining 3” double fold hem
Professional Blind Hemmer is great for hemming clothes and home decor
888-201-3863
45
7. With face fabric wrong side up, place the interlining on top 2”
above the bottom hem
888-201-3863
46
8. Place the lining on top of the interlining
888-201-3863
47
9. Determine the type of header you will be using to make your
drapery panel. I prefer a softer look and not to use buckram
I cut the interlining excess off at the top of the drapery, it is to bulky to fold
into the drapery header.
888-201-3863
48
10. Now turn the lining under and trim excess.
Lining will lay ½ “ from the top of the drapery

13. Lay Lining over interlining and fold side hem

14. Miter Hem corner of first fold so it does not peak out of
drapery bottom – Insert drapery weight at this point

15.Press side hem and blind stitch
Blind Stitch Hemmer

16. Measuring for Pleats – there are many opinions about the
way to measure for pleats, I’m all about simple and easy
4 ½” return to wall
3” center overlap
Mark each return on the ends, measure distance between returns.
5 pleats per drapery width (4 total) 1 space between each pleat
Pleat style will determine the amount of fabric needed for pleat. 5 ½”
Per pleat and 3 ½” per space.
888-201-3863
55
17. Stitching Pleats – 4” from top 2 ½” from folded edge Pleat center
Stitch straight line to top of header
888-201-3863
56
18. Determine the style of pleat, form pleat and stitch at correct
point.
