Drapery lining has many purposes and will always make your project look that much better. Lining also extends the life of the drapery fabric on which you have spent precious time and money. Here are the benefits of drap­ ery lining: Drape: Any fabric can use the extra body a lining provides. The added layer of fabric helps the drapery fall to the floor in eye-pleasing folds. Professionals use two layers - a lining and an interlining - to ensure proper drape for such projects as swags and jabots. Finish: Lining gives the edges of your drapes a professional finished look and actually makes it easier to sew as you are joining two surfaces, whether by machine or by hand. On smaller projects such as valances the need for hand sewing is almost elimi­ nated by using lining. By sewing right sides together (lining ana draper fabric) your valance has no raw edges to hand tack. The outside edge of your drape will show from the outside of your house at some time even if you have sheers. Sun block: High quality drap­ ery fabrics are constructed of natural fibres such as cotton or linen and will eventually be damaged by the sun. Sun damage can cause colours to fade very quickly and eventu­ ally cause the fabric to break down and virtually disinte­ grate. Lining prolongs the life of your drapes considerably. Products such as blackout lin­ ing can completely eliminate any sun from penetrating a room if you need added sun block for sleeping children, shiftworkers or general sun protection. Moisture barrier: Another enemy of drapery is condensa­ tion. Most windows will have a certain amount of moisture forming on them, especially during the winter months. Although most fabrics are treated with a stain repellent it will only battle moisture for so long. Some polyester and cot­ tonl>lend linings on the mar­ ket today are treated with a water repellent finish such as Water guard and will prevent condensation from touching your drapery. These products also have a non-wrinkle sur­ face for easier sewing and durability. Insulation: Linings also add to the insulation value of your drapery. Insulgard is a heavier lining that works great for Roman shades and full length draperies of all types. This product is light enough to drape well but has a suede fin­ ish that keeps out cold and heat. With this product on your drapes you can shut out those stormy nights and blis­ tering hot days and save on your fuel bills. For all the above reasons it is best to line your drapery. Just ask those customers who decided they should have lined their drapes and were faced with the nasty job of redoing them!
