SUGGESTED FABRICS:

VIEWS A, B* or C*: Silk-like polyester fabrics, mid-weight decorator fabrics such as cottons, linens, cotton blends, jacquards, or other similar weaves work well. Lightweight blend fabrics can also be used. NOTE: Interlining instructions not included - silk fabrics are not recommended.

*VIEW B or C - Print Fabrics: Balloons are sometimes cut side by side so horizontal repeats over 16" (40cm) are not suitable. See #4 in How to Use Fabric Requirement Charts for more information on repeat.

VIEW D - Silk fabrics in addition to above fabrics. Optional interlining instructions are included for this View only to prevent sun damage to delicate silk fabrics.

SUGGESTED LINING:

ALL VIEWS: Select a white or off-white drapery lining fabric. Sun resistant or water resistant linings are recommended.

VIEW D: Optional Interlining fabric - select a 48", 54, or 60" wide mid-weight cotton flannel fabric.

PURCHASE LINING SAME WIDTH AS FACE FABRIC, IF AVAILABLE.
