These curtains have rod pockets and headers at the top and bottom. They are mounted with flat curtain rods to hold the curtain close to the door. Sidelights are used on the narrow panels usually found beside doors. The measurements are from rod to rod (where the tension is), the header above and below the rod is not included in the size.

Mantle Scarves are decorative lace for the mantle. Most have a front drop that is 60" wide. The measurements include the "tails" which hang down each end.
Example: Heirloom comes  20x91 - the front drop is 60", leaving 31" divided by 2 for each tail (15.5). The part that rests on top of the mantle is 7-9 inches, so 20 less 9 is an 11 inch front drop.
Heirloom also comes 20x80, which fits mantles 48" wide.
For longer (left to right) mantles the tails will not hang down as much or at all.
See Mantle Scarf Patterns.
 

Imported from Europe, we cannot make it in the USA. Very detailed, exquisite, heavier, with decorative rings which the rod weaves through. It comes in specific drops, and is cut to fit your window width. Recommended fullness is 1.5 times your window width. It can also be added to sheers for longer treatments or made into swags. See Macrame Lace Patterns.
 

Measurements are from the top of the curtain. The rod pocket is 1.5". The 60" wide curtain fits windows 30 to 45" wide. The 45" wide fits windows 20 to 30" wide. Use as many as you need to get your desired fullness. Fullness is a matter of personal taste. Custom lengths are available in some patterns and sometimes custom widths. Rod pocket and header can sometimes be sewn to your specifications.
Lace curtains may be hung inside or outside the window frame.
 

For rectangle and oval tables, measure length and width. For round and square tables, measure diameter. Important: Add length of leaf/leaves if you will be using them. Add double the length of the drop. The drop is the part of the tablecloth that hangs from the edge of the table. This measurement must be added to length and width. Add an extra 16-30 inches to total table and leaf measurements to give you an 8-15 inch formal drop on all sides. It is not improper for the drop to touch chairs. See Fit for Tablecloths and Tablecloth Sizes by Pattern.
 

Made with medium sized yarns, it is the most widely used lace. It is also good for table lace.
 

Created on the Nottingham loom, which was invented in England in the mid 18th century, it made lace affordable to all. Each pattern requires months of preparation in the design department. The 22 inch long jacquard pattern cards are hand punched in the original tradition of Nottingham lace. The looms are then fitted with the hand tied pattern consisting of 1000-4000 punched cards. The large looms are all fitted with three individual yarn sources, that have to be wound prior to going on the loom. The creation of Nottingham Lace is fascinating and justly considered an art. These are sometimes referred to as "net" laces.
We get our Nottingham Lace from Scotland. The USA lace makers have discontinued operating their Nottingham lace looms.

Most of our panels are 60" wide and are intended to cover one window about 30 to 48" wide. Use more panels for wider windows.
 

Point refers to the number of threads per inch. The highest point for curtains is fourteen.  The higher the number, the finer and more delicate is the lace. (And more expensive).
The point term is only used in reference to Nottingham and Scottish Net Laces. It does not apply to laces made on Jacquard machines.
