Mesh fabrics… How to process?

Mesh fabrics... How to process?

#Mesh-stoffen

Attached lead wire
With mesh fabrics, the use of a lead thread is not recommended due to the open structure of the fabric. The threads of the fabric jump out from between the lead wire, making it look as if it has not been put on neatly. This is typical of open weave structures. It is therefore better to work with a bottom hem.

Lining
Be careful when feeding mesh fabrics. These fabrics are very fragile and usually have a high stretch. These properties are even more pronounced when the curtains are lined. Especially with a fixed lining, this will quickly show at the bottom of the curtain, making it look unattractive. It is better to choose a loose lining and secure it in places with “trenskes”.

How do I determine the width and height of my curtains?

How do I determine the width and height of my curtains?

The width of the curtain is determined by the width of the rail or rod. If the curtains are installed “on the day”, we advise you to calculate at least 20 cm extra width on both sides of the window.

If you work with an electric rail, the motor must be taken into account and extra fabric is needed to cover it.

HOW TO DETERMINE THE HEIGHT OF THE CURTAIN

  • Free-hanging curtains with rings: measure from the bottom of the rings (the rod and rings will remain visible)
  • Eyelets on rod:measure +3 cm extra from the top of the rod for the top of the curtain.
  • Curtain on rods: measure -0.5 cm from the bottom of the rail (the rod rail remains visible).
  • WAVE confection: measure -0.5 cm from the bottom of the rail (the rail remains visible).

For curtains above a windowsill, we advise you to subtract 1cm from the height measurement. For curtains above the floor, we advise you to subtract at least 1.5 cm to 2 cm from the height measurement.

If you order both net curtains and curtains, it is advisable to order the net curtains 1 cm shorter than the curtains

    Most curtains are machine washable.Washing curtains … how to start?
    At Creating Moments, we recommend taking your curtains to the dry cleaner for a better result. Our confections always contain a washing label if you want to get started yourself.A few tips:

    • Roman blind cords can be washed.
    • Do not overfill the washing machine (maximum two thirds).
    • Use detergent for delicate fabrics or special curtain detergent, without bleach.
    • Respect the maximum temperatures indicated.
    • Immediately remove the curtains from the machine and hang them wet.

    And further:

    • Don’t wash the curtains too quickly. Letting it air out and knocking it out is often enough.
    • Be careful with the iron. The heat can cause deformation. If you hang your curtains wet, the creases will settle out after a while.
    • Fabrics with natural raw materials are more susceptible to shrinkage than synthetic fabrics.
    • It is better not to wash lined curtains yourself.

    We recommend SASSI for stains in curtains and fabrics. A good product that removes (grease) stains without leaving traces.
