Drapery Details and a Pleater Board

A while back I had several excellent conversations with Cathy Gallagher of Housedressings – Fashions for Your Home.

She was very interested in our Pleat N Go, and had a bunch of questions as to whether or not it would work for her, with her drapery and home decor custom sewing. Well to make a very long story short, here are her words and a few pictures.

“You had asked me to send pictures of my finished project using the pleater board. I made 440″ of pleated edging for the valances in this room. It was the most wonderful detail I have ever used! I hope you like it – I enjoyed your product so much and plan to offer this custom detail to many customers!”

A full view of the large window and drapery - the pleats are on the  very top.

A view of the large, triple window with the new draperies.

 

A closer view of the top header section of the drapes; the very top is pleated

The top of the drapes and topper – again you can see the very top is pleated.

 

A really nice close up of the pleated top and corded edge of the draperies.

A great close-up shot of the pleats at the very top and the corded edge.

Terrific results and Cathy is happy! That was a lot of pleating and she discovered an easy way to do it. You can sew for me anytime Cathy :)
