RE: [VAL] A call for curtain slider selection help

    Does anyone have any thoughts about using heavy cotton for the sun
shield/liner?  The type I'm referring to is cotton and almost looks like
painters canvas.

Cotton or a cotton polyester blend fabric would be my choice for liner.
Think cotton sheets or similar weight.  Painters canvas would be too heavy
in my opinion.

I'm currently engineering the drapes for my Silver Slug.  I purchased 4 sets
of twin sheets to use...the fitted bottoms are perfect for the 2 twin beds,
and one fits as a slipcover over the gaucho, with one spare.  The top sheets
are being cut up to make the matching/coordinating drapes for the windows
throughout the trailer.

You mentioned that you were going to have the drapes made...The best thing
in the world you can do for the sewer and yourself, is to ask what the sewer
would suggest using as drapery fabric and liner.  Believe me there is
nothing like a frustrated sewer to set you straight on the right kind of
fabric to use...And you don't want someone who works with pins, needles and
scissors to be frustrated with your choice of fabrics!  You just might find
out how sharp those tools are!
