Buy the curtain fabric for the design of housing is half
It is equally important to consolidate the curtains so that they perfectly hung in their place, beautifully draped and elegantly framed the window. The process of formation of cordic drapes is quite complicated.
The folds should be the same width, go to bed beautifully and smoothly, emphasize the idea conceived by the designer. Work on the design of windows would be very laborious if there were no special fittings facilitating it at all stages.
An indispensable assistant in creating artistic drapery is a curtain tape. This special tape is a frame for all types of folds. Inside it all the length, twisted cords are laid. The tape is sewn along the top edge of the curtain with an invalion with two lines, and then pull out for the cords.
In accordance with the selected braid, the folds are formed folds of the required width and configuration. A curtain tape with geometric accuracy gives assemblies and folds the necessary shape, evenly distributes them throughout the baguette. Thanks to her, even a person can cope with the drapery of the curtain, nothing is sense in this work.
Today there is a very large selection of curtain tapes of different shapes and widths. There are ribbons for hooks only, there are ribbons with hooks for hooks and Velcro Velcro, there are just sticky tapes for hard fixing curtains or lambrequin, ribbons for vertical fixation of French, Austrian, Roman, London curtains. In today you can find tapes for curtains with Puberters, ribbons for tubular cornices, ribbons for strings.
But I would say that with all the diversity, a curtain tape with "pencil folds" remains.
Choose for the curtain is best solid, not loose tape. Be sure to collect part of the ribbon stretching the lace. If the tape holds the folds hard, then you can take, and if the folds are not clear and uneven, then it is better to give up from buying. The curtain tape can be sewed to the edge of the curtains, and you can 2-5 cm below the edge, then when assembling the curtains, the so-called "scallop", which can be covered with the cornice or rings, if desired, or achieve the effect of "curtains from the ceiling".
The curtain tape with a weaving fold is forms the most stringent on the type of folds, and it is used primarily on the ruffles that are not recommended to do on sliding curtains. Curtain ribbons with buffeling folds are also suitable only for inappropriate curtains, in addition, the laces on this tape can not be dragging, otherwise the assembly drawing will disappear.
Normal Hooks for curtains Used when hanging curtains with simple assemblies. Hooks are inhibited in pockets of sewed tape and in the base of the curtain rings or in the tracks of rail cornices. Hooks are brass - for heavy curtains and white plastic - for light and medium curtains.
For tapes with a triple fold and with bunk folds it is better to use special hooks.
There are many types of curtain tape Each of which is designed to drape the canvas in one way or another. The length of the purchased braid depends on the density of the curtains of the curtain. It is assigned a coefficient or "step", which determines the necessary width of the canvas for the future curtains. For example, the 1: 2 coefficient means that for one meter the finished curtains will need two meters of the curtainic web, 1: 3 - three meters, etc. You need to add about 10 cm for the edge of the edge to the resulting digit.
The choice of a curtain tape in its step depends on which folds will be laid on your curtains:
• Simple assembly does not require a lot of material, its coefficient is 1.5
• folds of buffers, ruins, waffles require a ribbon with a coefficient of 2.0
• Radi and bunk folds are laid with a 2.5 coefficient
• For triple and cylindrical folds need a coefficient of 3.0
The curtain ribbon is made of polyester. It is tightly adjacent to the canvas, well holds it at every millimeter, not allowing to be saved and deformed. Over the entire ribbon at a certain distance there are hinges for hooks of the cornice.
Special curtain ribbons are supplied:
• Rings for chalks
• hook pockets
• Seals for rigid lambrequins
• two, three, four cords
There are varieties of braids that are glued onto the cloth with a velcro or do not have the formative folds of the cord. Different types of ribbons are intended for different types of fastening. Universal curtain ribbons are manufactured, which have loops and pockets at different levels. They can be used on both the rod baguettes and rail. For thin curtains from Tulle or Organza, curtain ribbons are made from transparent material.
The width of the purchased braid is determined by the length of the curtain. For fixing short light curtains, it is recommended to use a narrow braid, and for long heavy porter it is better to purchase a wide ribbon.

How to sew curtains on a curtain ribbon
How to pull a curtain ribbon
A good curtain braid is obliged to have, not less than three ropes for tightening. They are associated simultaneously to each edge of the tape. It is more convenient to push the tape, if there is an assistant who holds one of her edge.
If you want to do this operation alone, this edge is fixed, for example, thumping onto the door handle.
At the time of assembly, the braid should be stretched, a free node (the associated ropes are kept in one hand, and the second will guard the tape from the edge to the middle, moving the web along the rope.
The braid is going to warehouses, and the ropes are becoming longer, they are wound on cardboard or skid.
When the warehouses begin to slow down the assembly, they are moving to the fixed edge of the braid.
Fully seamless curtain tape move with a tape measure, configuring to the desired width. It remains only to evenly distribute the assembly and fix the metakes from the rope (it is not recommended to cut it off, because the curtains are erased and ironing the curtains).
The hooks are attached to the tape after 8-10 cm. After that, the curtains are embarked on: refuel the ceiling eaves in the tracks either fasten the rod rings.
