How To Create Perfect Folds

  • Mark the pleats
  • Tie them with a ribbon
  • Steam if needed

Folds need to be trained, sometimes they just won’t fall right without daily training.

  1. Arrange the fabric into even folds with your hands
  2. Tie a ribbon around the drape mid point and if your drapes are long, you can tie two or three ribbons top, center, and bottom. Don’t tie it on too tightly, but just enough to keep the folds secure
  3. After a few days or longer you can remove the ribbon. The longer the ribbon is on, the better trained the fabric will become.
  4. Use a hand-held steamer to remove any creases the ribbon may have made in the fabric.
