There is no fixed formula - you have to experiment to see what looks like. Stand back from the window and see the effect of various depths. It is good to experiment with twine or something before you buy fabric. Jan Hi Diane

Do you mean the instructions here?

However, unless I am missing a detail, I can't see any measurement other than the length of the scarf. How deep should the swag be? Or the width of the fabric? Thank you.

It needs to be separate to avoid getting in the way of the operation of the curtains. There is definitely a lot of trial and error with hanging a scarf valance unfortunately. But I found the best way is to make a drape of fabric at the front of the rod about the depth you want using the center portion of the fabric and to fold the ends over the rod towards the back and then wind them around the rod towards the front. Hope that makes sense. Once you have the valance as you want it, put a couple of stitches in it at the corners to hold it in place. Jan Are you using a separate drapery rod?
