If you’re not covering the heading of your curtains with a pelmet, or swags and tails, it will be in full view all the time; so choosing the right heading is very important for the overall look. Pinch pleat headings are a traditional style of heading that work in virtually any setting. The pleats are at equal measured points and formed with double or triple folds and secured by hand stitching. This gives a very good structure to the curtains so they will hang far more elegantly.

Interlining your curtains gives that extra plumpness to the pleats and folds, as well as additional warmth. When dressed back in tie backs you can really see the beauty of your new curtains even when they are not drawn. contrasting thread, buttons or decorative embellishment can be added to the pleats to give your curtains stunning detail.
