Hi,
I have been asked to make an Austrian Blind/Festoon blind, she is letting me have a pic of what she wants. I haven't made one before, but have been looking into it. Seems to me to be similar to a Roman Blind, but strung vertically rather than horizontally and obviously no rods. I think I can probably work out the making up of it from M&D book etc, but any advice would be greatly appreciated. What I am concerned about is the regulations, can it be made up on a Roman Blind cassette system and strung up that way with the orbs etc? I have looked on the other posts on the site and there is friendly Velcro mentioned, is that pleated heading tape with velcro on one side? Could you not use sticky velcro on top of the tape, or maybe sew it on somehow? As you can see not quite sure!! Just want to make sure it looks good.
Thanks
Julia
