That slanting fabric.....

I keep meaning to up on a project from the spring, draperies with a fabric that was woven with about a 4" slant.

 The vendor, Vaughn, had it sent off to Griswold in Rhode Island to attempt to stretch the pattern straight.  When I got it back, it had improved to within 1", so the decorator gave the go-ahead.

The decorator and homeowner were very happy with the outcome.  I can see the slant, but to a casual observer, I think it just looks natural.  These are flat panels with little channels for inserting the drapery hooks for the rings.
