JOINS AND PATTERN MATCHING IN MADE TO MEASURE CURTAINS
If your made-to-measure curtains are over a certain width
(48 inches) then you can expect to have a join in them.
Can you spot the join in the picture above?!
This is because most fabrics bolts (not just our fabrics,
but from any custom drapery supplier) come in one width: 54 inches. The width
of the curtain comes from the width of the roll, meaning that the length comes
off the roll, allowing long, uninterrupted drops. A horizontal join would be
very noticeable and something no reputable retailer will offer. Dark
Green Velvet Drapes
The join is more visible if you get closer!
A vertical join can be very discreet if handled well. If the
fabric is patterned then we will match the pattern along the seam. If the
fabrics are matched well then the join is almost invisible, only noticeable if
you are deliberately looking for it. Velvet
Curtains Panels
The plainer the fabric, the more obvious the join will be.
But if you dress your curtains well and order enough gather/fullness, then the
join can be hidden within a pleat and rarely seen.
