Re: Return to wall help?
Hi Sophie
The returns should be calculated before pleating - Measure the first ring to the wall - See here Returns Attach using a screw eye to either the pelmet board or the wall.

Re: Return to wall help?
You could either remove the finial or have no return I'd say, I can't see any other option.

Re: Return to wall help?
If your client wants curtains level with the top of the pole, you've got to accept forward dressing spaces. The only way you can have a 'return to the wall' in this case is to sculpt out your heading to allow it to fit below the pole until it reaches the space behind the pole to return to the ring as Philip has said.

Re: Return to wall help?
Thank you both for confirming my first thoughts. I have a client whose door opens onto the window wall and you will see a big gap between wall and curtain as she wants a set down pencil pleat heading with a ruffle above. The poles she has bought have wonderfull finials so not using those are out of the equation. I will see if she minds seeing the gap when you walk into the room. Thanks

Re: Return to wall help?
Wow Sophie, I am glad u raised this issue. It is a problem I had not even considered as i plan curtains for a client who doesn't want the rings on her poles visible. I was considering a ruffled heading...any one got any making instructions...please
Oops perhaps this should have been a new thread...someone might want to shift itRegards

Re: Return to wall help?
HI Sophie,
I've had another thought about the return. If you are using a wooden pole, you can take the return round the end of the pole without the finial in place and then screw the finial through the fabric. How it would look depends on the treatment, etc, but it is a valid method.Kind regards
