Easy Care & Cleaning Instructionfabrics should be vacuumed regularly and profession¬ally cleaned periodically to preserve the beauty and prolong the life of the fabric. Rotating the pillows is recommended. As with all fine velvets, this fabric is susceptible to shading and marking which enhances the natural beauty of the fabric. Light creases may be removed by light steaming and brushing the area with a soft brush in the direction of the nap. Spot Washing: Remove excess soiling immediately. Blot area with dry cloth. To remove remaining stain, spray a light mist of soap solution and rub gently in a circular motion with a clean cloth or toothbrush so not to damage the pile. Work from the edges to the center of the stain to avoid a halo effect. Pat dry with cloth. When dry, use a soft brush, such as a kitchen or vegetable brush, to regain fabrics smooth feel.Heavily soiled areas can be spot-treated in the same manner using select non-solvent commercial cleaners, such as Resolve®.Important Note: Use only water soluble cleaning agents. Never use solutions that contain a petroleum or alcohol base; i.e., K2R, turpentine, Petrolwash, or chlorethylene. Machine Washing:1.

BASIC DRAPERY PANELS
To figure yardage for basic drapery panels, you will need the cut length (finished length + allowance for your desired hem and rod pocket size - NOTE: our workroom adds 16") x the number of panels you are making.
If your selected fabric has a repeat, you will need 1 panel at the regular cut length and then you will need to add the number of inches in the repeat to each additional panel.
Examples using standard 84" finished length panels: *Change the number of inches added for hems and rod pockets, as well as repeats, to suit your needs*
Fabric with NO repeat: Panels - 84" + 16" = 100" each panel
x 2 panels = 200" (5.625 yards / 6 yards to be safe)
x 3 panels = 300" (8.33 yards / 9 yards to be safe)
x 4 panels = 400" (11.125 yards / 12 yards to be safe)
Fabric with a 27" repeat: 1st panel - 84" + 16" = 100"
2nd & additional panels - 84" + 16" + 27" = 127"
x 2 panels = 227" (6.30 yards / 7 yards to be safe)
x 3 panels = 354" (9.83 yards / 10 yards to be safe)
x 4 panels = 481" (13.36 yards / 14 yards to be safe)
NOTE:If you are making panels for additional windows, the number of inches in the repeat must be added to ALL remaining panels to continue matching them all to the very first panel.
