Set-Back or Stacking
For Pinch Pleats & Ripplefold
Pinch Pleats Draperies:
The most traditional way of finishing the tops of draperies
Pinch Pleat Drapery
The drape, are generality, fold at the top with what is called three finger pleats to obtain the fullness wanted. A drapery pin is then put through the back of the pleat. The pin is attached to the carrier in the drapery rod or track.

Fullness of the drapery is the ratio of fabric to width of rod or track.

The most common fullness is 2 to one or also called 100%. That is twice as much fabric (top of drape) to rod or track width. This fullness is most used in ready-made draperies. Higher fullness will give a more luxurious look especially with sheer and light weight.

As you increase the fullness you will have more pinch pleat per width of rod or track. When these pleats brunch together creating a greater stackback, gathering of pleats. This causes a loss of window opening area when the draperies are open.

The fullness should be determined by the best look wanted; type of fabric used, and wanted window opening area wanted.

The below chart is used to find the stackback. For center opening divide the width of the rod or track in half.

Note: The stackback chart is for average pleating and medium weight fabrics. The chart is a best guess with some variables.
