Hem & Header Allowances Added
- Double 4" Bottom Hem: Adds 8 inches (20 cm) of folded fabric for weight and clean hanging.
- Double 4" Top Header: Adds 8 inches (20 cm) for rod pockets, hooks, or buckram stiffener.
The Math Formula
• Total Gathered Width = Rod Width × Fullness Multiplier
• Number of Panels = Total Width ÷ Fabric Bolt Width
• Cut Length = Finished Drop + 16" (header & hem allowances)
• Number of Panels = Total Width ÷ Fabric Bolt Width
• Cut Length = Finished Drop + 16" (header & hem allowances)
