  3. Number of panels. Enter the value that applies to your situation.
  4. Request the result. Add your email, then select “Email & show my result.”

What to do with the number

Fullness around 1.5× looks relatively tailored; 2× to 2.5× creates a fuller gathered appearance. Use rod width rather than glass width when curtains extend beyond the window frame.
