What is the difference between the
Kingston Valance 9101 and the Empire?
The Empire has pleats that stack on top of the mount board.
The Kingston pleats develop behind the horns below the board
top. The Empire is an easier construc-tion.
How can I alter the swags?
We cannot give you instructions to alter the swag in width or
depth. To go beyond the sizes given would require the shape
and size of the pattern and the pleat angles to change. There
is no formula for a quick fix.
Can I use the Empire Valance on an arched window?
No. Our Empire patterns are not designed to hang on a curve.
If or when we do, it will relate that in it’s name.
I’m using the Empire for a bay
window. What should my swag sizes be?
Make the board and valance in one piece. Plan for a horn to
be at the inside corners. Subtract 1 ½” from each
end of the board only. You must figure the side swags size.
Then you figure the middle swag size, keeping them as close
to the same size as possible. It is to be expected they won’t
be the same.
Why can I alter the Kingston depth but not the Empire?
The Kingston fullness area is a straight line. It does not have
pleats that angle. However, you can’t alter the Kingston
width for the same reason as the Empire.
I would like to have 3 pleats instead of 5 in my swags.
The pleats are not adjustable.
I need an Empire valance with a swag depth of 24".
“Please use pattern 9234 for depths 24” to 28”.
I need an Empire pattern with knots.
“Please use pattern 9284 Classic Empire Valance.
Do the fabric requirements listed for
railroading include the self-lining of the returns and horns?
All lining measurements are separate from the main fabric. If
you are railroading the fabric to prevent seams, you should
do the same with the self-lining. If you plan to put seams,
there is no point to railroading the lining. Use the info for
upright cut.
