1. Lay the curtain down with the lining facing up. Take a pinhook, the sharp end needs to be facing towards the top of the curtain.

2. Insert the sharp end of the hook approximately 4cm from the top of the curtain in the centre of the crease but not into the stitching. Ensure that the pinhook does not pierce through to the front face of the curtain but goes through the buckram.

3. Slide the hook upwards into the curtain.

4. The position of the pinhooks can be altered to adjust the �nished drop. You can even put some of them at slightly di�erent heights if you have an uneven �oor.

1. The outside edge of the curtain will face back towards the wall and then weave the pole through the eyelets.

1. Hang your curtains from your pole or track. If your curtain includes a half width - the half width should be on the outside edge of your window. When hanging your curtains, especially if they are heavy, start by putting them over one shoulder to take the weight and start hanging from the centre of the track.

Hanging your curtains from track or pole

Eyelet tops

When curtains are �rst hung they should be dressed to encourage them to fall into even folds.

1. To begin draw the curtains back.

2. Starting from the outside edge, work from the top downwards and run your hands �rmly down the length of each pleat or fold so that they fall into smooth pleats.

3. Ideally you should now tie your curtains. We recommend you cut strips from the plastic packaging your curtains have been delivered in to tie round the whole curtain. They should hold the folds into position but not be so tight that they mark the fabric.

4. Leave in position for about 48 hours and then untie.

5. Your curtains should now hang beautifully.

Dressing your curtains

Hanging and dressing your curtainsWe are sure you will be delighted with your curtains. Here are some tips on how to hang and dress your curtains so that they hang beautifully. Please read through this guide before starting to hang your curtains.

Gathered / Pencil Pleat HeadingsIf you have chosen to have a pencil pleat heading you will need to gather them before you �t them.

Please note that if your curtains include a half width of fabric this always hangs on the outside edge of the window.

1. Before you start, tie the cords loosely at one end of the heading tape on each curtain.

2. Take the loose cords from the other end of the heading tape and pull to the width you want, keeping the gathers neat and even. The width you need will be half the width of your curtain track or pole if a pair of curtains or the whole width if a single curtain, plus about 5cm or more depending on your pole or track size (longer tracks will require more than 5cm). If you have one remember to include the overlap arm in your measurements.

3. Secure the cords by tying them �rmly, tuck into the end.

4. Don't cut the cords as you will need to loosen the cord if you have your curtains cleaned.

5. Insert the hooks into the tape approximately every 10cm all the way across the curtain. Make sure that you have enough gliders or rings. Alternatively count the gliders or rings you have on the track or pole and insert the same amount of curtains hooks divided equally across the curtain.

6. The heading tape has a choice of pockets for the hooks - choose the best �t and look. Normally for tracks this tends to be one of the bottom rows and for poles it is usually one of the top rows so that the curtain hangs below the pole.

Double, Triple pinch pleat & goblet pleat (See reverse)

These curtains have been hand�nished using buckram and you will need to insert pinhooks. You need a pinhook for each pleat plus one for each end.

PIN HOOKS ARE VERY SHARP SO TAKE CARE WHEN INSERTING THEM.
