MEASURING
Choose the desired drop/length.
Drop measurement is tip to tip. Each pattern is available in various
drop/lengths. This example is Victoria:

12" Drop 16" Drop 22" Drop
Measure the rod WIDTH or the window WIDTH where
the lace will hang. 
 
   
Ring lace is purchased by the foot (3 feet minimum) to fit the width.
Recommended fullness is 1.5 times this measurement.
You may prefer
more fullness.
Multiply your window width measurement by 1.5, then divide
by 12.
Round up to the next foot.
RODS
Recommended curtain rod diameter is
7/16, 9/16, or 13/16.
Sash Rods, Cafe Rods,
Spring Tension Rods, or Curtain Rods with a return will work.
Cafe Rod
Oval Spring Tension Rod
Round Spring Tension Rod
Standard Rod with Returns
There
are some decorator rods with these diameters.
CUTTING RING LACE
The
ring lace will be cut with an even number of rings. This is
necessary so the cut edge will turn towards the back on each side.

With gentle care, the
cut edges will not fray. You can cut your macrame with sharp
scissors. Just make sure there are an even number of rings on
each piece.
CARING FOR RING LACE
Machine wash warm,
gentle. Do not bleach. Damp dry only, then hang to dry. Little
or no ironing required. Ring Lace is either 100% polyester or 67% polyester & 33% cotton.
Enjoy - Your
Macrame Ring Lace will last for many years.
