A wee explanation:

Responders are correct that there is little difference between 2 1/4" deep and 2 1/2" deep pleats, but I WAS WRONG to supply these numbers to you for consideration. The difference is closer to those offered in the post above. My bad.

As well, the former thread suffered I think from TMI (too much information) Syndrome what with all the descriptons of the pleating which is actually still undecided. I find all of my options to be quite attractive so aesthetics shouldn't be included in considerations at all. My bad again.

The simple question as it is put here is what I really need to hear your thoughtful responses on and would appreciate all replies. I apologise if I have hurt some feelings or stepped on toes. I am happy for the help, but again, I lead you astray in the other thread and was not getting the information I need. Please forgive my impertinence and participate in this new thread as you are able.

Sincerely,

X
