Fashion Pleated Valences
All Fashion Pleated Valances are made with soft loop tape sewn across the top and attach to Fashion Rodding (included).
The standard fullness is 2.5X. Quotes at 2X or 3X fullness are available upon request.
Suitable fabrics are Knit Valance Laces, Sheer and Lace Cut-offs, Railroaded Cotton Prints and Solids.
When using a scalloped lace, we will attempt to pleat according to the pattern repeat.
STRAIGHT Valances: May be self-lined or hemmed. When using fabrics without a finished edge, self-lining or finishing the edge with a trim is recommended.
SHAPED HEM Valances: For a shaped hem without trim, the valance must be self-lined or lined with another fabric in order to finish the bottom edge by facing it with the lining. Laces with scalloped edges do not require a lining or trim for shaped hem valances.
“Pencil Pleat: 3ó” wide heading tape with soft loop back, ready to attach to hook fastening tape or Fashion Rodding. The tape is sewn onto the fabric and gives a pencil pleat or smocked effect when the strings are pulled.”
