Traverse Rod Terms
• Rod width is measured from outside of end bracket to outside of end bracket

- Drapery Tips
Hanging Drapery:
• Hang panels starting from master carrier
• Pinch hook tight on master carriers to prevent hangups or snags
• Don’t skip slides; slide extras to end of rod to remove through gate - Training Drapery:
- To help a pleated drapery stack neatly, crease or “break” the stiffened heading between the pleats by folding the space between each pleat in half and running your thumb and forefingers up and down the buckram, thereby “creasing” the buckram
- For a conventional traverse rod, crease the buckram away from the rod, towards the room
- For a decorative rod with rings, fold and crease the buckram back towards the walland away from the room Traverse the draperies to their stacked, open position, smooth the pleats and folds, and loosely tie with cloth strips in two or three places; let stand two or three days, then untie; draperies should now traverse and stack neatly and smoothly
