Stackage: 
1. the length of a Classic shade when it is pulled all of the way up.
2. the length of a Top-Down shade when it is let all of the way down.
Ideal Stackage is usually 15% to 20% of the Finished Length of the Shade.

Straight-of-Grain - the lengthwise grain (parallel to the selvage) is the most stable (least stretchy) fabric grain of your fabric. The crosswise grain (from selvage to selvage) is the next most stable and can be substituted for the lengthwise grain if it means a savings in yardage.

Up Fold: A fold in the shade that pulls up when the shade is raised. An Up Fold has lift rings.
