How Do Drapery Hooks Work?

Drapery pins (figure A) are inserted into the back (lining side) of the panels. The sharp, pointed end goes into the fabric. ... The curved end of the pin will go through the eyelet of your drapery ring or rod carrier. After placing the pins be sure to check that none are poking through the front of the panels.

How do you use drapery hooks on regular curtains?

How does a curtain hook work?

For curtain tracks you will need to insert the hooks into the low or middle row of pockets so that the heading hides the track. For poles insert the hooks into the top row of pockets so that the curtain hangs below the pole. Just make sure you insert the hooks into the pockets rather than onto the cords!
