DRAPERY YARDAGE FINDER AVAILABLE The WCAA announces the addition of The Drapery Yardage Finder to the list of educational and sales aids available to the window coverings industry. It is an easy-to-use, reliable guide to drapery and pleated valance yardage. It works with both plain and pattern-repeat fabrics, estimates for 45-, 48/50- and 54-inch fabrics with three choices of fullness for each size. It also makes all seam, hem and heading allowances, so no calculations are necessary. If you are relatively inexperienced or not confident about yardage estimating, please call the WCAA at (888) 298-WCAA to order one today. WEB SITE RECOGNITION AWARD The WCAA is proud to announce the creation of a new Web site recognition award to be presented to our members for having both used the WCAA logo on their site and creating a site promoting the window coverings industry. This award is available only to WCAA members and will be displayed on their home pages.
