Many times when you hang draperies, you will find that they do not traverse easily. Panels on rings are many times a problem as are those times when you must use the customer's existing rods. Here are three ideas you could try to improve smooth movement of your draperies:

1. Spray the rod with silicone spray (made for fabrics as you do not want it to stain the fabric).
2. Rub paraffin or soap over the rod where the carriers or rings will glide.
3. One more tip for traversing draperies is to totally bend the drapery pin on the overlap carrier all the way back to meet the panel. This will keep the pin from catching on the underneath panel as it closes over it.
