1 The Perfect Panel By Pam Damour The Drapery Panel: Pinch Pleats have been around for centuries, changing little in the last century or so, and why? Because they work so well, just the way they are. The rumor of their demise in the 1980 s was greatly exaggerated, as there s nothing that operates smoother, stacks tighter, offering excellent insulation and acoustic value, while still looking beautifully classic. But the fun part is that pinch pleats have evolved into many forms. Some choices are: Traditional French pleat, Goblet pleat, Country pleat, Euro pleat, Tuxedo pleat, relaxed top and grommets. Here are a few Hints: Fullness: industry standards are a minimum of 2 ½ x full Sheers: 3 to 4 X full Headers: Generally using a 4 buckram, allow 8 for a full cuff Hems: Generally 4 double fold (8 total), 5 double fold for sheers (10 total) Lining hems are 2 double fold. If using a partial width, for example 1 ½ width on each side, the partial width goes toward the outside or return edges. Calculating yardage A) DETERMINING FLAT WIDTH FW X = = = Amount of fullness flat width WOM round up to next whole number number of widths needed B) DETERMINING FINISHED LENGTH FL + + = = Amount of header amount of hem cut length w/o RPT size of repeat number of repeats round up to next whole number = X = number of repeats required size of repeats total cut length C) DETERMINING YARDAGE

2 Multiply A X B to obtain fabric needed = X 36 = A) number of widths B) total cut length total yardage To Make: As with most decorating projects, we sew the hem first. Start with the hems. Fold the hem u7p 8, pulling taut at each end, with table clamps. Holding the fabric taut at 8 at each end will keep the hem relatively straight all the way across. Press flat. Fold under in half, making a 4 double fold hem. Press flat. Blind hem using your blind hem foot. With the back of the drapery facing you, fold the hem back, revealing only about 1/8 of the top edge of the hem. Sewing onto the hem edge, with a blind hem stitch setting, your machine will sew approximately 4 straight stitches in the top hem edge, and then make a tiny bite into the drapery panel the folded edge of the drapery panel is guided along the guide edge of your foot. It s important to keep this edge snugged up to the edge for an even and consistent stitch. Lining: Fold 2 double fold lining hems, press and straight stitch the edge, using the edge on your edge joining foot, and moving your needle slightly to the right of center,

3 With wrong side together, line up the top edges of each hem. (This will make the ling 2 shorter) Line up seams, and pin together to prevent shifting. Trim selvage off the inside or overlap edge. Press trimmed edge over to make a double fold 1 1/4 side hem. Pin into place, but do not sew. Drapery Top Measure the finished length at the top edge, and trim off the excess of 8. Using a 4 buckram, double cuff the top edge of your drapery. Be sure to trim both selvages on the face and lining fabrics. Finish side hem as shown. The side hem will travel the entire length of the drapery to the top of the header to the bottom of the hem.

4 Calculate and mark for pleats. Depending on your fullness, use one of the following formulas: 2 X full 8 per unit (4 pleat & 4 space) 2 ½ X full 10 per unit (6 pleat & 4 space) 3 X full 12 per unit (8 pleat & 4 space) Remember to start with your overlap, usually 4 or the size of your space, and finish with your return, allowing 2 1/2 seam allowance for side hems. After the drapery top is cuffed, it s time to mark off the pleats. Pin into the stop edge using one of the above formulas. After all pleats and spaces are marked out, trim off excess. Fold and press 1 ¼ remaining side hem. Pin into place. Before sewing in the pleats, blind hem the sides. Blind stitch 1 1/4 side hems. If the top or bottom edges are too thick for blind stitch, you may have to hand sew that portion. Be sure to include the drapery weight in the bottom corners. Sewing in the Pleats: Fold top over where the pleat is to be, lining up the pins. This is where you will sew down the entire length of the buckram. Set your sewing guide to measure ½ of the total of the pleat, so with a standard 6 pleat, set the guide to 3 as shown.

5 When sewing pleats line up pins, remove pins, and using the guide, begin sewing about ¼ down from the top edge. Back stitch back up to the top edge, and then down to the bottom of the buckram. Back stitch at the bottom of the buckram. French Pleats: To make traditional French pleats, fold big pleat into three sections, by pinching in the center. Sew using a wide stationary zig-zag or hand tack at the base of the buckram. Allow the needle to fall off the edges of the folds to give a hand sewn look.

6 French pleats are classic, elegant, and stack neatly when on a traverse rod. There are several other choices for pleats including goblet, Euro, Country, and Center Tack, just to name a few. For more detailed info on other please, watch Pam Damour s DVD108, Designer Draperies Other options can be the grommet top drapery which can be easily achieved using a grommet tape. The grommet tape not only assures even placement of the holes, it also has tabs on the back, to keep the fullness even when the drapery is drawn. Grommet tape can be sewn into places or applied with Pam Damour s Permanent Double Stick tape. The grommet face choices include silver, brushed silver, brass, antiques brass, black & white. The wavy drape tape can also be sewn on or applied with double stick tape
