Is the Estelle 9261 pattern very different from the Squire pattern 9213?
The Estelle is the same as the Squire, except there is no center dip. The swags depths are shorter on the Estelle and the horns are slightly different.

I need the swag to be wider, how can I alter it?
We cannot give you instructions to alter the swag in width. To go beyond sizes given would require the shape and size of the pattern and the pleat angles to change. There is no formula for a quick fix.

I need the swag to be shorter in depth, how can I alter it?
We don’t recommend altering the depth more than trimming away the 2” dip at the bottom. 9261 pattern is the same swag without the dip, but depths are 15” to 18”.

Which is the thin jabot and which is the Squire jabot?
The new Squire jabot is more ornate. It is used on the photo cover sheet. The original thin jabot is also still included in the package.

Can I alter the Squire jabot?
It would involve changing the bottom curve shape. We cannot help you with that.

Can the Squire jabot be used with other valances?
Yes, instructions are included to make it separate.

I do not understand how to figure for my swag size. Can you please explain it to me?
Please click here for our “How to Read Yardage” page and scroll down to “figuring swag size”. This is explained in detail.

I am considering the Squire for a bay window. Will it work?
Yes, the Squire works great for a bay window. You will need to make a bay window mount board. Plan for a horn to be at each corner. Subtract 1 1/2” from each end of the board only. Make the valance as one piece. The outside swags may need to be different sizes from the center ones.
