Questions and Answers
This unique valance with decorative ties is a casual take on a formal style and can be adapted to fit any size window by adding additional swag sections. We mounted our valance on a
rod with rings
; however,
decorative knobs/finials with posts
could be used.

Q:
I have two questions: 1. Can you make this valance without the ties? 2. If I use a tassel trim along the bottom edge, do I still need piping? If so, where is the piping used?

A:
The ties are certainly optional but you will have to be a little more particular when adjusting the gathers behind the ties when using a rod with rings. They can look messy but are easily adjusted. Just takes a little time. Of course if you use posts and knobs the gathers will be concealed and you don't have to worry about that.
The piping is applies in the bottom seam. We always use piping as it finishes the edge so nicely. If you apply trim to the top or the face of the treatment and not in the seam you can apply it on the edge just above the piping or up on the treatment several inches. If you apply it in the seam we would still use the piping but you can certainly omit it if you prefer. It's totally up to you.

Q:
is this using one uncut width of fabric or is it pieced together for the swags?
Asked by:

A:
The Marley pattern is made up of 3 pieces which can be cut separately or can be easily taped together with masking tape to cut as one long pattern pieces. Depending on your fabric design and layout requirements.

Q:
will this treatment adapt to a window size of 28.5> this includes window frame? Can I use a vertical stripe fabric.
Asked by:
carolyn
- 4/19/2014
A:
You can alter the Marley pattern to fit a smaller window. To do so you would condense the width of the swag section by folding a tuck down the middle of the pattern piece. For a window around 30 inches you might consider only using two swag sections instead of three. It will also work well for a vertical stripe fabric.

Q:
I wrote this a few minutes ago, but I don't think it sent, so here it is again. What do you think about using this pattern for 3 windows of a bay window? The 4th is actually a door, so valances don't work well there. I'd love the pattern to continue across all 3 windows to create a flow.
Asked by:
Carol
- 6/11/2014
A:
The Marley looks great on a bay window as a continuous valance. If you hang it up high enough for the top of the door to clear you can even make it as one continuous valance. If your ceiling height won't allow for that then just do it as a continuous valance on the three windows and do something entirely different on the door, such as a roman shade. However, it will look nice to do the door with its own treatment that is the same as the bay. It will look different but it is different.

A:
This fabric was supplied by KIng Cotton Fabrics in Birmingham It is several years old but I believe they still have it. Please contact Lere (sales person)' or Janet (owner) and tell them it is the fabric used on the cover of the Marley (they may have to look it up on the website to refresh memory) 1820 Green Springs Hwy, Birmingham, AL 35205 (205) 322-5878
They are great people.

Q:
I have a question regarding the lining and contrast fabric. Can I use the lining fabric for the contrast fabric as well? Thank you.
Asked by:
Jody
- 10/27/2014
A:
You can certainly use drapery lining fabric to line the entire valance, but to keep from seeing it from the front you will need to make facings for the bottom portion of the horn and side jabots with a decorative fabric. Nothing worse than seeing white/off white lining peeking from under the valance.

Q:
My window is 58x58 will this pattern work, and I am wanting the sides to go to the bottom of the window, is this possible? Thanks
Asked by:
Tina
- 11/2/2014
A:
It will work for that window and you can adjust the length of the end jabot but it may take a few attempts to get it just right. I will be happy to help you with that if you will give me a call. Caterina 205-424-1770 ext 2

Q:
Can I make a Marley valance on a 11 foot board with only knobs can it be stretched out that far like every26 inches a knob ...?.thank you
Asked by:
Yvonne
- 12/6/2017
A:
It's totally do-able. If you are allowing the valance to dip between the knobs you will need to attach a contrast skirt to hang behind the valance. If not, the top of the valance can be stapled to the board. I usually serge the seam across the top instead of sewing and turning it so it will allow you something to pull up over the board to staple to. Give me a call at the office and I can go into further detail.
Note: You will need to stretch the valance out so don't cut the board until after you have done so and get an accurate measurement.

Q:
Can you eliminate the ties and just add rod rings? I am looking for a flat swag with horns--maybe tabs or rings to hang from a rod. Should I be considering other patterns to get this effect?
Asked by:
dg
- 6/21/2018
A:
The ties on the Marley are optional so you could do it without them. There is fullness at the top of the horn. Other treatments we offer, such as the Claudine has a similar look but we have removed all the fullness at the top of the horn. We have a photo gallery on the website with tons of pictures our customers have sent in. You will be able to see many versions if you visit that and click on the pattern name. http://www.picturetrail.com/windowpics

Q:
I have 3 windows side by side with a total width of 110”. I would like 1 swag per window mounted with the post medallions. Is the pattern adjustable to accommodate that size?
Asked by:
Kathy C
- 11/17/2019
A:
Hi Kathy,
Increasing the Marley "swag" portion to 36" should not be a problem at all however, depending on your fabric, it sometimes requires the use of a stabilizer to keep the top from wracking or twisting. We offer one if you need it https://www.patemeadows.com/Fusible-Stabelizer_p_502.html#.XdKi1NVKivE. To know for sure if you are going to need to use it, you will need to make a mock out of lining first. Install your hardware first, then once you have your proportions worked out, make a mock out of an old sheet or lining fabric and hang it up. If you like your adjustments, cut one swag and a couple of the horns out of your fabric, lining and interlining. Hang those on your hardware. If you don't have any wracking then you are safe to proceed with the construction of the entire valance. If not then add the stabilizer to your swag portions only then proceed. It does require some steps but you don't want to get the entire thing complete and then find out you need it.
