How is a flange furniture skirt made?

[baileyuph]

In a prior discussion regarding skirts; kick and boxed pleats were discussed and there other types I have knowledge such as gathered - shirred - and?  But the term flange skirt came up in reading which raised the question about how it is made?

Flange cannotes a shape change on the edge, but it isn't clear the flange is in skirts and how it is made?

Maybe some of you have the explanation.

I have worked with mechanical round objects with a flange around the perimeter and perhaps seen flanges on wood turnings; on furniture - don't catch on.

I'm not sure if I understand what you're talking about.
Is it a skirt with a small flange sewed in front of it?

Flange skirt:  (going out on a limb here) I'd say it refers to a knife edge "pleat" arrangement... could be way off the mark, however!

I make skirts in pcs. when I do slipcovers.  I use a separate pc. for the underskirt where a "pleat" is called for.  It may seem like "more work" but I find it's an easier way to deal with bulk and guarantee a cleaner, more accurate, and crisp result.  I charge accordingly.

This could mean several things, Flange: like the link above, or it could just be a pleated skirt, normally a pleat every 4" sometimes lined sometimes not. Or it could be a skirt with a tape or border on the bottom edge of the shirt, but more then likely a flange added to the skirt. I did a job where all the fusions had a ruffled flange on them.

Hello everyone.  I am wondering if anyone knows who makes Aqualon fabric for marine or where in the USA it is made?  Also does anyone have any feedback on the product?  Likes or dislikes?
