Very helpful tutorial but I have one thing I don't understand. My track is 69" across. 69" x 2.5 = 172.5 The fabric I want to use is 54". 172.5 divided by 54 = 3.2 (rounded) So does this mean that I have to have 4 drops? Thanks again.
BeccyBop99 No. it is only .2 over so I would round it down and the 3 drop is split half, that means 1 & 1/2 each side. Thank you for watching my video and 10 out of 10 for understanding it.
Hi, Your tutorial was helpful and I understood that we need to multiply by 2,5 to give the gathering for the curtain but I don't understand why it should be divided by the width of the fabric to find number of widths. I didn't understand what is the width of the curtain is and how come there is a length for it. I didn't understand why we need to find the number of widths. Please can you help me? Thank you
+143 mariyam. Right Mariyam, some houses when you go into and look at their curtain you will see that they have bought the curtain from the shop, hung it up but it has no gathering, therefore it looks like they have just put a sheet of fabric on their window and this will look like squatters or a poor man's home, or simply they have just got the measurement wrong. The facts are for Pencil, Pinch, Goblet Curtains the calculations are 2.5, for Wave and Eyelet curtains the calculations are 2.00. If you want to put more, you can, then your home will be well insulated, if you put less, it just doesn't look right. So now the number of width tells you how many joins, as well as how much quantity of fabric your need to cover your window; especially if you are using a fabric that has a pattern repeat, get that wrong and you will be in trouble. Mariyam, thank you for watching my show, all the best.
