Good to know

Any drop is worked out. Drops of 1000 to 6200mm are covered by our Made to Spec Guarantee. We make longer and shorter drops too, but they're outside the Made to Spec Guarantee, and the calculator says so under Drop.
Fabric Join NO: the fabric's width is used as the drop and the curtain is made in one continuous length, with no joins. Fabric Join YES: the fabric is turned 90 degrees and the widths are overlocked and joined side by side, with vertical joins.
Fabric Required has no allowance for a pattern repeat.
It's an estimate to plan with, not a quote. Check anything tight with your workroom before you buy fabric.

How the answers are worked out: curtain hooks per metre and fabric needed, with worked examples.
