Default Cheap Covering


Yes, probably, but what you find in "cloth stores" has already been
heat
shrunk!--Jerry

I have found some have had luck with finding shrinkable drapery
linings and sheer fabric. It comes in 108-110 inch widths but would
need to be tested before buying any quantity. One guy took a small
swatch home and cut it to 10" then ironed it. It shrunk in length to
about 9" or 10% shrinkage. It weighed about 2oz. per yard. A good
indication is if the specs call for dry clean only. Seems the
offshore supplied stuff might be more likely to shrink.
