In order to measure, the following information is important:

• necessary stock, which is sufficient for sewing the braid;
• length of the cornice;
• width of the curtain;

Calculating material quantity -

rules Before you start calculating the footage, you need to find out which width of fabric rolls are right for you. The formula can be different - this will depend on the measurements taken. You should buy a cloth so that there is enough material, and perhaps there are surpluses, but not too large.

Important! Most fabrics suitable for curtains have rolls thicker than 2.8 m. Thus, if the width of the roll is 2.8 m, and the length of the curtain for you, given that you will need to die and process it, will beless than this value, it will suit you.

To correctly choose the width of curtains, it is worth bearing in mind that they are available in rolls with a width of 1.4 m, 2.8 m or 3 m.

Important! If the drawing is large, then this will not help you to save. Do not also make calculations based on the minimum width of the curtains. Overflowing fabrics and beautiful folds can significantly brighten your interior.

It is more convenient to type the fabric in width, but you need to look at the direction of the drawing. This rule is mandatory for any type of curtains.
