This pattern was revised in 2005. If you don’t have the latest pattern you may return your used pattern for a new one at ½ price. If your pattern is unused there is no charge, except shipping cost.

The curved box valance was not designed for a curved window. It is de-signed for a straight window, to give the appearance of a curve.

I like the look of the Curved Box Valance, but I would like a straight top pattern.
A straight top valance pattern and instructions are included in the new revised 2005 copy.

Can I alter the pattern?
Alteration limits for the width are given on the yardage page. We cannot give you instructions beyond those. Depth alterations are included.

On the straight valance do you press down the pleats or not?
Do not crease the pleat edge. They should hang softly.

Do I staple the pleated valance to the back of the front board? Won’t the support boards be in the way?
The valance staples behind the face of the board, even with the bottom edge. It’s best that the board wedges don’t come all the way to the bottom edge, but if yours does, you can clip the valance so it can fit under them.

How do I mount the board to the wall?
To install you should attach “L” brackets to the wall first. Place them so the 1” wedges of the board can rest on them. Then screw from underneath the board to secure the board to the wall. These instructions are included.
