How to fabricate Ripplefold Draperies
After determining the length of the track, type of carriers, desired fullness and coverage per panel, follow the fabrication charts, carefully. Using the panel coverage measurement and the desired fullness column, determine the width of hemmed panels and the number of full spaces required between snaps. Due to slight manufacturing variations, the total length of snap tape will not always exactly match the dimension for flat hemmed panels as listed in the charts. Flat panels should be matched to the tape after cutting the tape with the proper number of spaces shown.		To cover an area 120" wide with a two way draw track set with butt masters and 80% drapery fullness. Panel Coverages Fabric width hemed dimension of each panel-119". Number of full spaces between snaps -27. Stackback width of each panel - 14". Number of carriers required to carry each panel - 28
Count off this number of spaces on tape. Mark tape for cut-off and master snap placement; also, allow for return snap if desired. NOTE: First factory snap attaches to master;another must be added. Overlap master: Cut-off is 3-3/4" from first snap; master snap, 2-1/2" (see figure 2) Return: (If reutrn snap is used) return snap is located 1-1/2" from last factory snap. Cut-off, 2-3/4" from last factory snap (see figure 3). If return hook is to be used, leave off return snap.
