How to Use Drapery Pins, Hooks

Follow the easy instructions below for years of trouble-free service.

Drapery pins (figure A) are inserted into the back (lining side) of the panels. The sharp, pointed end goes into the fabric.
Insert the straight end of the pin all the way until it looks like figure B. The curved end of the pin will go through the eyelet of your drapery ring or rod carrier.

After placing the pins be sure to check that none are poking through the front of the panels.
TIP!
If you want the top of the panels even with the bottom of your rings or carriers, insert the pointed end of the pin 1 ¼” down from the top edge of the panel. This will place the top of the pin even with the top of the panel.
ROD POCKET & FLAT TOPS
Insert the pins into the back of the panel into the pocket or the lining. Horizontal spacing of 4-6” is recommended if you want a straight look across the top of the panel, and horizontal spacing of 7-12” is recommended if you want the fabric to “swoop” a bit as it hangs between the rings.

PINCH/FLAIR/CARTRIDGE PLEATS

Insert pins into the back of the panel into each vertical stitch line (shown as letters “P” in image C). Also put one pin at each upper corner of the panel – these can be placed into the side hems.

INVERTED PLEATS

Insert pins into the back of the panel so that each pin lines up with the vertical stitches on the FRONT of the panel. Also put one pin at each upper corner of the panel – these can be placed into the side hems.
