All I really want to know and I can't get a straight answer anywhere. Is if a 48 in double panel curtain set. Is there two 48 inch curtains or do both panels combined make 48 in? It's frustrating it's been over a week in my new place and I desperately need curtains but I haven't been able to get a proper answer
What about the width for just one panel to cover a sliding glass door? Does adding additional width make it look better? And if so, is there a rule of thumb for that?
At 02:48, she's talking about this, "double fullness". If your rod length is 50 inches, for example, you want between 75 and 100 inches of fabric length to cover the window and look full enough. It really depends on the type of curtain and what your taste is, though.
Okay. So let's take your 100" measurement with 2 panels on each side. This is where I am right now. Do the 2 panels on each side get joined together, and how?
I would use a sewing machine to sew the two panels together. This project requires the ability to sew in a straight line with a sewing machine. This video does not explain how to construct the curtain from the fabric. It only shows you how to calculate how much fabric to buy. (I realise this is a late response.)
6” each side might be okay but if your window is wide and you need double width panels or more then your stack is going to end up blocking a lot of your view as it will cover too much glass! Actually most of my installs are with 1.5 width panels and the stack is about 18” so 6” is even skimpy on average. 10” is more normal but it is always tailored for each window when drapes are custom made. I’ve done some huge windows with the ends 20” away from the trim for example. Then for your height. Sure halfway is a good ballpark but what if that area has a high ceiling? Halfway might look ridiculous! I don’t mean to pick on you as I’m seeing similar info being echoed on by others. I just want to let people know that it’s kind of a simplified version of what’s professional or custom. It’s advice that will make your drapes look better than some and is a good starting place but it will not work for every situation.
This is a bloody nightmare. I never thought hanging curtains would be the thing to finally push me over the edge.
Hahahahaha!! I feel ya!
This is hilarious. Thanks for the laugh......I feel exactly the same way!!😂
Finally a straightforward, down to the math video!

Did you ever get an answer? I’m in the same situation
@@plantbasedpixels not a definitive answer

I’m confused. I give up

Order double width panels
No… let’s say MY rod is 100 inches long
I rather pay the $70 fee and get it right. You know what you are talking about but I don't. You lost me on hems I thought draped had already had hems.
I don't entertain metric!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You're seriously sitting in front of a white board this entire time.
