Thank you for the welcome. I'm a newbie who has just registered with this fantastic site. The Gallery pics. are wonderful. What a talented lot of people!!
I've been sewing for 25yrs but have just started a small curtain and soft furnishing business working from home.
On looking 'thru the site I have realized how much I have to learn!!! In particular I have been searching for more info. on the make up of Roman Blinds. I have always made them with the tape method- i.e. sitching visible on the right side of fabric. On reading 'thru all the posts I now know this is the wrong method to use for a professional finished look. It seems the rods should be encased in pockets in the lining. I have seen lots made up by the tape method in show houses ect. but if there is a better looking finish then I would always want to aim for that.
Could anyone tell me ( or direct me to a site with video instruction ) on what is the proper way to make them up for regular folds or cascading??
P.S. Also is this the correct site to post a new topic?
