Most curtains can be lined if desired; however typically you
will find that main curtains and valances are lined to give
the drapery a finished look. Lining also protects the curtain
from damage caused by moving scenery and other objects which
may snag the fabric. Linings can be either permanently sewn
onto the main curtain, or be removable with hook and loop. Typically
cotton fabrics are lined with denim lining or ranger lining,
while IFR fabrics are lined with a polyester. |
