Measuring for Windows
Width
1. First decide where the rod is to be placed. This is a crucial decision because it determines the width as wellas the length o the window treatment. This will also determine the size o the rod you need to purchase.
2. Consider the act that the rod may be placed any distance to the right and/or let o the window rameto give a good proportion to the room.
3. Measure rod width rom end to end; this is your ace width.
4. Add projection or returns to the ace width; this is your nished width.Length
1. Measure rom top o rod to desired length. When rod is to be installed in a drapery or valance pocket,
add ½" (1.3cm) or “take-up.”
2. I treatment is to have a header add that amount to the nished length because that part o thetreatment will be above the rod.
3. When you have added your desired length including the take-up and header that is your nished length.
Piecing for Bedding
To avoid an unattractive center seam the center panel o the duvet cover or comorter should use
approximately one entire width o 44/45" (115cm) or 54" (140cm) abric. For Twin and Double/Queen sizesthe remaining abric length is split into two equal width side panels. For King size each panel uses an entire
width o abric.
As a guide, a Piecing Diagram is included or our our standard sizes mattresses. The diagrams includethe suggested length and width measurements or each panel.

Conversion Chart for Customary & Metric Fabric WidthsUse the chart below as a guide to estimate the amount o abric needed when selecting a abric width not
listed on the pattern envelope back. Note: Unusual pattern piece shapes, pattern adjustments and abrics
with one way design may afect amount o abric needed.
How to UseA pattern calls or 2yards (2.10m) o 45" (115cm) wide abric. The abric you selected is 35" (90cm) w
Find 2¼ yards (2.10m) under the 45" (115cm) column, then read across that line until you reach the 35"
(90cm) column. The number in this column is the amount o 35" (90cm) wide abric to buy: 2 7⁄8yards o2.65 meters. Conversion chart is designed or estimating yardage or apparel and crat patterns. Inorma
