Stack back

[545shelly]

Hi all,

Haven't logged in for ages, so have missed you all!!

Anyway about to embark on a mammoth set of curtains, hand pleated triple or goblet pleats, interlined floor length.

Central placed French window -Size of window is 216cm. distance wall to wall is 332cm.

I have read that stack back should be 30% and increased for hand pleats but no advice on by how much. The finials I want to use are 190mm

Any ideas would be gratefully received.

Re: Stack back

Hi, Jane,
I always just add an extra third to the width of the window, and have never had any problems. I dont know if anyone else has any suggestions.
