All you need for wonderful Curtains...
We offer 3 different qualities of work:
 |
Hand Lined
Lining hand locked on seams, hand hemmed and hand slip-stitched sides. This produces a flexible curtain, in that the face fabric and the lining are not held rigidly as in a machine-lined curtain. All headings except hand pencil pleats are offered. |
 |
Interlined
Interlining is locked to the face fabric and the lining is then locked to the interlining to bond the three layers together. Interlining produces a much softer look, rounded plump folds, not creases. It's also a wonderful insulation and together with the lining protects the face fabric from light damage. All headings except hand pencil pleats. |
 |
Superior Interlined
Constructed in a similar way to standard interlined but we put in more than twice as much locking between the layers. We also offer the beautiful hand made pencil heading, only seen from the best curtain makers! Arched-top curtains, whether pencil headed or French headed are Stunning. |
When asking for a quote, please do ask for all variations!! The more informed you are of the choices, the better.
We encourage customers to consider interlined curtains because we think they are a much better product but there are many situations when interlining is neither wanted or needed. The choice is yours.
Trimmings
Trimmings are either purchased separately or made from a contrast fabric.Fan edge, or braid can be sewn down the leading edges for a gentle accent, or use two rows, set several inches apart for a much bolder effect. A band of contrast fabric can be added, always use a fabric full length rather than join two widths, as the seam will be at eye height and spoil the effect completely! The bottom of the curtain can be trimmed in the same way.Tassel and cut fringes look nice on the leading edges of curtains where the heading is fixed together in the centre and dressed back on ombras or Italian strung.
