FABRIC SELECTIONFor Stage Curtains
Between all the curtain types used on a stage, all the different fabrics available, and balancing your client’s needs with their budget, choosing the right fabric for a project can seem overwhelming.
Some dealers choose the same few fabrics again and again for all jobs, simply because those fabrics have worked in the past on some jobs. Don’t fall into this habit.
