Product Information

With the Rod Loop Tape acting as the “channel” for the rod, the top hem can be fully sewn closed giving the top of the curtain panel maximum stability. In fact, with many décor weight fabrics, this traditional deep, double hem will probably be all that’s needed to keep the top of the curtain panel straight and stable. Even with lighter weight fabrics, a single layer of Header Tape would be enough to properly stiffen the top edge when using a Rod Loop Tape.

Once it is finished with draping and pinning, the next step is to baste the fabric. In this step, either sew the fabric to the foundation piece or sew the fabric itself to complete the draping process. Figure 7: Basting the Fabric It is a very useful as many variations in the design can be done easily and considered as time saving method for a fashion designer.Most fabrics will require a foundation piece of some sort to support the weight of the fabric. You can skip this step if you’re working with very sturdy fabric.

This is a Dritz® product can be used for curtains as well as other situations, such making a fabric hiding panel for the front of a cabinet or along the base of a counter.

In addition, the loops of the Rod Loop Tape are evenly spaced, which means when your panels are pushed open, the resulting gathers will be even. When you just have an open channel in the fabric, it is much harder to get a pretty flow along the top of a panel, and if there’s more than one panel, the gathers are never even from one panel to the next. Rod Loop Tape can solve this problem. And, as shown below, it’s easy to pleat the tape to get an exact fit.To simulate the draping quality of natural or synthetic silk, and knitted cloth, soft muslin is used. Mostly, medium-weight muslin will simulate the draping quality of wool and medium-weight cottons. Coarse muslin will imitate the draping quality of heavy weight wool and cottons. When the canvas muslin considered, it will simulate the draping qualities of heavy weight fabrics such as denim or imitation fur. To prepare the garments of knitted fabrics, less expensive knit fabric should be utilized. However, it should be seen that the sample knit should have the same stretch value as in the fabric selected for the finished garment. Generally, the right side of the front dress form is used to drape the front basic pattern or garment. These steps may vary, however, this is the standard rule when fitting and draping any type of garment. In simple words, draping technique means the way a fabric hangs or falls in a dress form as well as on the human body. Before draping, it is important to select your dress stand carefully and make sure that it offers the correct shape and balance. The stand should be clearly marked with the bust, waist and hip positions. The draping process is informed by the choice of fabric and whether you intend to work with straight grain, a crosswise grain or bias, or the true 45º bias, which offers distinct draping qualities. Scissors and Shears: Shears are usually four-to eight inches long and made of steel Bent-handled shears are excellent for easy and straight cutting. Straight Pins: Dressmaker pins with sharp tapering points that will not rust are used to anchor muslin or fabric to the dress form while draping. b.
