Did you make it the same length you would if the were operational to get the fullness of the folds?<br />I absolutely love your blog. I just started doing this a year ago and your blog is always one of the first places I check for inspiration and advice. I can tell that you love what you do and have such a great passion for it. Thank you so much for posting all the stuff you do.<br /><br /> Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15441591293388309432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8255111671105547403.post-22084043436444051052013-10-14T12:24:25.002-04:002013-10-14T12:24:25.002-04:00Hi Jan- I remember, I saw your post on the CHFA fo...Hi Jan- I remember, I saw your post on the CHFA forum and responded to the pleat question- I definitely would use very small pleats to add fullness- I recently had an unsatisfactory experience making a continuous shade in a corner- I wanted to add tucks but the decorator didn't, so I'd never do that again without a little fullness added in; but regarding the banding, I'm not sure it would look good with the pleats.<br />What about a center pleat relaxed style? That way there wouldn't be pleats where the banding is. That's how I would fabricate this treatment.<br />If you go to the top of the blog page, click "About Me," and send me an email, I'll email you back and describe more fully what I mean. I can send you some pictures as well. That way we can communicate back and forth more easily. hudsondebbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05386611278026615074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8255111671105547403.post-24548254891071746042013-10-14T10:00:38.221-04:002013-10-14T10:00:38.221-04:00I have a job for a similar treatment on a bay and ...I have a job for a similar treatment on a bay and have a few questions for you. They want the boards connected and want a row of rings in the middle of the center window. Board sizes 33"-80"-33" with return of 3.5". The fabric is a floral with a neutral background and they want a band (red fabric) where each row of rings are. Do you recommend sewing those bands (2") in between each section or topstitching the band at each row of rings- too bulky??? Do you think there will be enough of a droop with the fabric on that large of a window or should I add some small pleats? Would the pleats look odd out of the banding fabric?Jannoreply@blogger.com
