| How to Purchase Curtains Fabric and Materials |
The
fabric department of your department store with its vast assortment of
materials, colors, weaves, and patterns competing for your attention, is apt to
prove bewildering unless you understand something about fabrics before you go
out to buy them. With some knowledge of fabrics you are not so likely to be
swayed by bargain prices or tricky patterns, and to buy something that is not
really what you had in mind. A good precaution is to get a swatch to take home
and to place it near your other furnishings to see how it goes with them.
If
you like it is much when you get it home, it will probably continue to satisfy
you.

| How to Purchase Curtains Fabric and Materials |
In
purchasing curtain materials it is necessary to consider their durability,
texture, color, design, and how easy they will be to care for. Sometimes the
cost of the fabric itself is not large, but the trouble and expense of making
it up warrants getting a fabric that will wear, even at a higher price. The new
synthetic finishes that make fabrics shrink fast, colorfast and sun fast, glass
and plastic fibers, and plastic sheeting materials, have gone a long way in
disposing of many of these difficulties. But often a room calls for a traditional
material, and in such a case durability is a consideration. If you find you
have fallen in love with an expensive chintz or print that you just can't
afford, get a plain material that correlates well with it and use it for
trimming, or for a valance or cornice covering.
