I recently had some made and they were made out of state and then shipped to our person to install. Were your's made locally for the client? I ask as mine did not have any packing agents helping keep the cartridge area rounded and there looks to be a crease in the stiffing/buckram where they should be rounded. Is this a common issue (and will come out in time with the weight of the drapes) and normal for these delicate drapes to be shipped in this manner? There is also a crease in the fabric over the buckram. Is that normal for these pleats? Not sure if I should try to return and get my money back, or if this is a nonissue and I am worrying over nothing. Thanks for any help and knowledge you can provide.
