Hi there,

We had a new patio door installed, and are wanting to purchase one of your single traverse right-pulling rods. We have a heavy thermal lined pinch-pleated drape to guard against midwest chill. The patio door opening from right to left measures 63″ from edge to edge of the finish molding. My question is, should we order the 33-66″ rod, or the 48-86″ rod and why?

Thanks,

-Scott

Hi Louise,
The measuring is the same for pinch pleated or rod pocket curtains.
Follow the how to measure for rod pocket curtains on http://www.mycurtainstyles.com/meas__for_curtain.html

You will not have to add more for pinch pleated draperies. If your width is 330″ multiply 2.5 X 330 = 825″. 825″ will be the flat (unfinish width of your fabric.
Also, follow the instuctions for determining the length at :http://www.mycurtainstyles.com/meas__for_curtain.html

You can do it girl! I hope this helps.
The best to you!

I have been asked to make pinched pleat curtains for a window which is 330 wide. I have been working out measurements based on 2.1/2 width, each curtain but don’t know if you need more for pinched pleats as apposed to gathered.

Also the drop is 220 cms so have based that on 2.1/2 mtr drop and the pattern match is 74 cms. I am saying that I need to purchase 15 mtrs but not sure , could you tell me please.

regards Louise

I am making pinch pleat for the first time (for mom). Window is 95″ wide, with a side wall of 57″. Height is 91″. I have figured material is 54″ so I will need to seamup 6 panels, this is twice as much as I need. The total wall is 13ft. Do I figure on twice the amount of fabric or do I just buy 13ft of pinch pleat tape and make my drapes fit that? When the drapes are open she wants the whole window exposed with the drapes hanging on the side wall. This would NOT be a two-way draw. This is kind of confusing to me. Thanks for the help.

Hi Dianne,
Check out this site. It explains calulating fabric for rod pocket. However, calulating the fabric for pinch pleat would be the same:

how do I determine the amount of fabric needed for pleated, two-way draw drapes?

Hi Dianne,
I would purchase the super heavy duty because you have a, somewhat, long drapery of 100”. The super heavy duty will support 1 ½ lbs per linear foot.
If you are purchasing 86-156” the cost is $86.00 each rod.

Unfortunately we do not offer motorized rods at this time.

If you are installing a single rod under a cornice, the return (sides) should be 6 ½ – 7”.
As far as the depth, top to bottom, that is determined by the amount of space you are working with. Generally the depth of a cornice can be from 12”-17”.
Thanks for contacting Linda’s Curtain Studio through the blog. I hope this helps.
