Border print fabrics, where the print runs along the lengthwise of the fabric, can be  positioned  so that the decorative edge is highlighted across a shade or down the length of a drapery panel. If you go this route, select a  border print featuring an all-over design that look the same when viewed from all directions to ensure that the print looks the same whether it's placed horizontally or vertically. Another way to create a border effect is to stitch bands of contrast fabric along the edge of a window treatment.
