Generally scrims are sewn flat, though some tracked gauzes are headed (pleated) to 50% fullness. Base hems and attachment methods vary from item to item. Scrims are usually sized to suit the venue, however it should be noted that stage gauzes are very wide, typically 9 to 10m and as result heading length is usually kept under or around this size to minimise wastage and subsequent expense.

scrims -  Generally sewn flat on to 50mm wide cotton webbing with eyelets and ties at 300mm spacing along the heading. 50mm un-reinforced side hems (can be reinforced and fitted with eyelets if side stretching is a requirement). The base hem of batten fixed scrims are usually fitted with a pipe pocket for bottom stretching. Tracked scrims have continuously chain weighted base hems.
