Hi all,
I am not a professional seamstress , however I do appear to have the "knack" for making curtains.
I have made "goblet headings" "eyelet" headings etc etc
I can make swags and tails quite easily . I have been asked to make swags and tails for two windows 1st 62 " width and 2nd 82 " width, at first I was asked to make 3 swags per window.. that is easy for me .. but now customer has asked me to make one single swag for each window.. I am now looking at making 1 swag at 82" wide and 1 swag at 62" wide.
I have measured top width of both swags to coincide with pelmet width , I have added 20" on bottom edge with a total depth of 48" ... but I cannot get pleats exact... someone please help me , customer wants 4 pleats , I have tried dividing depth to equal proportions of 4 and even tried 5 but it just doesnt work !!?? Please help ! .. where am I going wrong ??!!
any help/ advice greatly appreciated
Dianne
