Master Bedroom Drape Installation

After the drape panels are sewn together the top has to be pleated to fit the width requirements so normally we will add a header to the top of the drape and pleat through all layers.  In this installation though, we will be stapling the panels directly to a small panel of wood.  We will form the pleats at the time of installation and staple them in, instead of sewing them ahead of time.  This will allow for maximum flexibility in styling the drape.  We will be working with the client to achieve a final look that will be determined on site.

Giant Zig Zag Stitch

stitch line for stapling

The stitch line will be used as a guide to staple the drape to a board that will be screwed into the ceiling in this particular installation.  We will be doing all of the rest of the work on site.
