Material In Small Folds: The French heading is probably the most satisfactory treatment, and consists in gathering the material in small folds about 6 inches apart and sewing the folds together usually 4 or 5 inches down from the top of the curtain; the folds then continue down the full length of the drapery, and are permanently fixed at a reasonably even spacing; the curtain is thus given a more tailored appearance. Box-plaiting consists of a similar spacing and start of folds, except that the head is not gathered, but doubled and pressed flat and sewed in that position. Plain shirring starts the folds at irregular intervals and is accomplished by sewing rings on the underside of the head of the curtain and sliding them on a small rod. Small weights evenly spaced along the bottom hem of curtains are some times used to make them hang properly, particularly if the material is unruly, as are glazed chintz and organdy.
Headings. Both valances and draperies may be given interest and, at the same time, organization and symmetry of folds by means of headings, plaiting, or shirring.
