Anatomy of a Well Appointed Drapery. To achieve the best effect, draperies are best when interlined and lined. We apply the old-fashioned method of lining and interlining curtains that has never been surpassed for creating the perfect curtain. The finest lining and interlining materias are usedl to give our curtains a rich depth and deep folds that hang beautifully.

Lining. For lining material, a pure cotton sateen is preferred.

Interlining. Medium-weight interlining is the best for almost all curtain materials, including chintzes, linens, damasks and silks.

Bottom Hem. We use 8 inches of fabric in our bottom hems. This makes for a beautiful clean hemline.

Side Hems. Our side hems are double folded and blind hemmed into place giving the drape a rich leading edge.

Drapery Headings. All of our headings are hand worked.

Corners. The bottom and top corners of our draperies are all hand-sewn.
