How Do You Place Pin Hooks In Curtains?
Pin Hooks are small metal devices used with pinch pleat drapes to hang them onto a metal curtain rod. Pin Hooks are either single U-shaped hooks with a pointed end or a heavier double looped U-shaped hook with curved ends. You’ll want to select the correct pin hook depending on the weight of your curtain fabric. Affixing pin hooks is relatively easy although placing them incorrectly can result in a poorly hung drape. Purchase the correct type of pin hook for your fabric weight. If using sheer curtains for example, you might want to use a single pin hook because of its smaller size and weight. Use a heavy-duty double pin hook if your fabric weight is heavier. Placing a single pin hook into a sheer pinch pleat curtain requires maneuvering the pin in place so that it is invisible when viewed from the drapery front. Start with the first pleat on the end of the curtain panel. From the back of the curtain, hold the individual pleat in one hand and insert the pointed end of the pin hook direc
