Hi All,
I have curtains finished (triple pleat) total width before I pleated was 155" (sorry still imperial)
Each curtain has return 5"
12 pleats x 7.5" = 90
11 spaces x 5" = 55
overlap 5" 5
total 155"
Each finished curtain is 65"
The 10ft pole is being cut to fit above. the width of the window is 96" and the clients old pole was aprox 116" Looking at the curtains hanging in my sewing room, I think the return and the ovelap is too big.
Would I be right in thinking I can put a pin hook on the return about 2" and bring 3" back to the wall? Have never brought the curtain to the wall before so need to check if what I'm saying is correct. My question is what kind of hook would I need to fit to the wall ? Second question would it be ok to turn in the overlaps by about 1" or 2" or would it be too bulky, or should I just rip open and re-do
That would leave me with both curtains measuring 60"
Any advice would be a help
