This valance was revised in 2008. If you dont' have the latest pattern you may return your used pattern for a new one at 1/2 price. If your pattern is unused there is no charge, except shipping cost.
The new version gives you a third choice for the valance.
Can this valance be mounted with a rod instead of
a board?
Actually, yes. Allow enough fabric for the pocket. Leave the
fabric flat, the gathered area will develop when it goes on
the rod.
Is this a good design for a bay window?
Yes, it adapts beautifully to a bay.
Can I use a plaid fabric?
Yes.
