Dressing the Drapery
■ Buckram is the stiffener sewn at the top of the drapery behind the pleats. Breaking the
buckrams by pinching them will allow the drapery to stack properly. The buckram breaks to
the back for Contempo and to the front for Essential.
■ Steam drapery if needed to remove any wrinkles and allow drapery to stay stacked for
24-48 hours to help train fabric folds.
Adjust the Drapery Position
Changing the height of the drapery pins will adjust the position of the drapery. Refer to the
pictures below for the correct drapery position for your track.
■ Push the pins down until you hear a click to lower the pin position. After the last position
the pin will come out of the channel and can be inserted into the channel from the top.
You will hear a click once it is locked into the highest position.
➤ Contempo Track. The drapery will just touch the bottom of the track.
➤ Essential Track. The drapery will completely cover the track and the top of the
drapery header will be even with the top of the track.
