Here's one for you lot.
When I make my roman blinds I stab stitch through all layers and I put my stitches through the blind on the stitch line underneath the rod pocket so no pin hole of light is visible when the sun shines against the blind.
I sew my stitches in situ with the blind hanging from the shelf which runs around my workroom. That way I can see that all the layers of fabric are hanging cleanly prior to the stitching. The time taken to apply these stitches can be disproportionately long.
I have been experimenting for a couple of years to try to come up with a method of attaching the layers of the blind together at the line of the rod pockets which does not involve stab stitching, a task which can be difficult on a wide blind when you are stitching in situ. My arms just aren't long enough sometimes and when this happens I pin in situ and sew on the bench.
I have experimented with double sided fusible tape and a variety of other methods but I can not find a way of reproducing these few critical stitches in any other way.
Does anyone have a better method Please ??????????
