I'm having to post from my phone, and cannot access the search feature. I have a mall show next weekend, using my trimeline frame. I have some curtains that were custom made for a wholesale show i did, and would like to use them. Problem is they are about a foot too long. I thought about basting a hem, but they are miles and miles wide, just overwhelming, AND i have a kitten who keeps tearing into the mess. I wondered about rolling up from the bottom, wrapping around a wood dowel or something. Any ideas? I dont want to cut them shorter as i may do a wholesale show again.

Yes, roll up from the bottom. I do this with the spring rods I put in mine, when I don't want them going all the way down. Then use binder clips to clamp the fabric in place right onto the dowel. The medium size clip works well for this. Down at floor level, no one will notice the clip, especially if it is done from the back.

Thanks linnea. Can you tell me what spring rods are?

Linnea never mind a read another post of yours and figured out what spring rods are.
Thanks Larry. My concern though is that I can't be sure, this being a very small show, the the folks on either side of me will even HAVE booth set up, and so there would be a possibility that the draped-over on the outside will show. Guess I'll just have to hope that I am placed between 2 others with tents...

Drape them over the top and clip them or use safety pins.
