Physics question: is it remotely possible to hang these drapes so the rail doesn’t show? If I place the pins closer to the top, it shows. If I place them lower down like this, the top flops and it shows when they’re open (see pic 2). I feel dumb.

They’re tab-back and have a pocket. (I wanted pinch pleat but there was nothing in my price range.)

    Move the drapery pins to about 1/2″ down from top of drapery so they don’t lean forward.

    You move the drapery pins HIGHER and not lower. Also, those do not look like pinch pleat draperies and you are using pinch pleat pins. They look too light weight. Pinch pleat are usually stiffer so that they don’t fall down like that. You could probably make the have actual pinch pleats though. Also, I looked and looked for a photo online of tracks where the track did not show, and I did not find one.

    I think the issue is the wrong type of rod for the curtains/draperies you have. But I could be wrong as I could not see enough of the tip back of the panel.
