Curtain stitching service in Kenya: Delivery Planning and Acceptance Checks
Editorial update: 28 October 2026 · Business planning reference · Review scope
Plan delivery around observable acceptance
Plan the handover and acceptance record for curtain stitching service, using the specific checkpoints for the example offer.
This is a planning reference for curtain stitching service. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional curtain job: two pairs/four unlined panels for two 290 cm rails, target finished drop 220 cm. Each panel has 290 cm flat width before gathering, giving 2:1 fullness per rail. Client supplies cloth; sample construction, repeat matching and rail-hook reference are approved before cutting. Hanging/rail installation excluded.
This page is a work-control sheet. It does not teach a qualified trade, prescribe a food process, approve equipment or replace the appropriate technical procedure. Confirm who has the competence and authority for any specialist task.
Prepare the control record
| Stage to schedule | Checkpoint from the scoped example | Actual record to complete |
|---|---|---|
| Measure and receive | Four panels are labelled by room/side; insufficient client cloth stops cutting. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| Calculate cut list | These are sample construction allowances; tape position and header projection are proved on a short heading sample. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| Match and join | Repeat-matching waste is added before accepting the nominal 20 m cloth calculation. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| Hem and head | Twelve metres tape budgets 11.6 m flat panel width plus 0.4 m turn-ins/waste; forty hooks means ten per panel only if approved by heading system. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| Gather and hand over | Receiver checks four panels, heading sample and dimensions; rail strength and installed drape are outside this sewing-only acceptance. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
Keep accepted and unresolved work separate
| Issue to watch for | Evidence question |
|---|---|
| One pair hangs unevenly | Compare finished drop from identical hook-eye reference and check left/right rail measurements. |
| Motifs step at join | Compare matched finished-top marks and repeat layout. |
| Heading will not gather | Inspect whether stitching trapped drawcord channels. |
The issues above are prompts to investigate, not a diagnosis of a real defect. Record what was observed, isolate the affected output where appropriate, and refer the technical decision to the competent person or approved process. Do not copy a hypothetical response into a real incident without assessment.
Reconcile the handover
Use the agreed charging basis: window set or panel. Record ordered, completed, accepted, held and rejected output separately. Track rework time, changed scope, credits and collection dates against the same order reference. Receiver checks four panels, heading sample and dimensions; rail strength and installed drape are outside this sewing-only acceptance.
Proceed within a defined trial limit only after the buyer's acceptance, actual full costs and collections are recorded, and the guide's unresolved checks are addressed. The final business-specific checkpoint is: Receiver checks four panels, heading sample and dimensions; rail strength and installed drape are outside this sewing-only acceptance. Otherwise record a hold, revision or stop decision in file 10.
