I have bought fabric to make a pair of double pleat, interlined shams or dress curtains, to sit in front of a roman blind which will be used to shield the window. I calculated my fabric requirement based on the usual things, such as pattern repeat, curtain length, heading style etc.
Now I've come to join the widths I'm horrified to see that the fabric is woven in such a way as to make correct pattern matching impossible, unless you give up on the first quarter!
This will mean I'm short of fabric as I will no longer have the fullness I need and the curtains will look mean....If I do join close to the edge there is a piece of the pattern missing. There was no mention of the matching needing to go into the fabric so far on the sample I have. Is this common? What do I do?
Advice please.
