Measuring for WindowsWidth1. First decide where the rod is to be placed. This is a crucial decision because it determines the width as well
as the length of the window treatment. This will also determine the size of the rod you need to purchase.2. Consider the fact that the rod may be placed any distance to the right and/or left of the window frame
to give a good proportion to the room.3. Measure rod width from end to end; this is your face width.4. Add projection or returns to the face width; this is your finished width.Length1. Measure from top of rod to desired length. When rod is to be installed in a drapery or valance pocket,
add ½" (1.3cm) for “take-up.”2. If treatment is to have a header add that amount to the finished length because that part of the
treatment will be above the rod.3. When you have added your desired length including the take-up and header that is your finished length.
Piecing for BeddingTo avoid an unattractive center seam the center panel of the duvet cover or comforter should use
approximately one entire width of 44/45" (115cm) or 54" (140cm) fabric. For Twin and Double/Queen sizes the remaining fabric length is split into two equal width side panels. For King size each panel uses an entire width of fabric.
As a guide, a Piecing Diagram is included for our four standard sizes mattresses. The diagrams include the suggested length and width measurements for each panel.

Conversion Chart for Customary & Metric Fabric WidthsUse the chart below as a guide to estimate the amount of fabric needed when selecting a fabric width not listed on the pattern envelope back. Note: Unusual pattern piece shapes, pattern adjustments and fabrics with one way design may affect amount of fabric needed.
How to Use A pattern calls for 21⁄4 yards (2.10m) of 45" (115cm) wide fabric. The fabric you selected is 35" (90cm) wide. 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 of 35" (90cm) wide fabric to buy: 27⁄8 yards or 2.65 meters. Conversion chart is designed for estimating yardage for apparel and craft patterns.
