Hi All,
I have made a lined pair of curtains to go under a valance. I have pinned them off to 150cm lenth but not sewn on the pencil pleat tape.
I measured the drop from the underside of the pelmet board to just above the radiator 152cm. However in my panic to take very precise measurements of the shape and angles of the pelmet board omitted to make a note of the type of track i.e. one of those narrow metal ones, or a standard Swish plastic type track, so I don't have the hook drop.
Now I am getting in a tizzy over the final drop, because if I make them too long, they will touch the radiator, but I will not be able to use a lower pocket to shorten them, because the top of the curtain will scrape on the pelmet board.
Trying to avoid a second measure as it is half term and the kids are home, and the client is some way away, so wonder if anyone can offer any practical advice.
Please help.
Thanks,
Sue.
