The homeowner lived with the bullion fringe long enough to decide that she didn't like it.
To minimize the labor involved in removing it and putting on another trim, we snipped the fringe off-
Glued on the new trim-
Uh oh, now we can't see the trim header!-
So we unclipped the bottom-most ring from the split rings holding the stationary folds in place, and added two to act as spacers between the bottom ring and the next one up-
Voila!
It's not rocket science, but it does make the customer happy!

A Little Improv
The homeowner is in love with this fabric, so when she took down some medallion swags she wanted to re-use them as inside mounted board swags for new windows. Medallion swags are proportioned differently from board-mounted swags, but luckily, with a little modification they worked, just barely. Admittedly a little disheveled looking here on a stand in the workroom, once they were in the windows and dressed, they were a success. The inside mounting kept the flaring jabots contained, and the board was padded under the flat center of the swags between the pleat so the top line was even and there was no gap.
