What would you suggest, Sally?

I'm not sure how answering these questions you're wondering about will help me with my problem, but just in case it might, here goes:
They will be pinch pleated.
They will not be lined.
They will be 56" in length; it's hard for me to say whether that's considered short or long.
I do have experience with draperies and curtains; I've made them for many, many windows. Where I possess a lack of experience is working with knit -- and polyester, for that matter. (I use, almost exclusively, natural fibers but for this application polyester is the best choice.) Even if it stretches a foot, that would be OK. It's something of an experiment, but I don't want to be sloppy about assembling them.
