Hi all, I know this has been covered before but I thought I'd ask for your advice anyway.
I have read topics concerning how to finish roman blinds at the top and we've all got different ways of doing it. Personally I usually machine through the velcro which I know gives a line of stitching visible on the front of the blind but it's never been a problem with my clients...until now!.
I have a client who wants 5 blinds 3 of which are a huge drop of 265cm. They are to be interlined (not bonded but the proper stuff) and hung on lovely rotary headrails. The thing is that she has been talking to her interior designer friend who said that they can be made with no stitch lines at the front at all.
I have made them like this a couple of times, stitching velcro above the fold and then turning back down and slip stitiching, but only on small drop blinds. My concern is that the weight of the blind will make the top insecure if I use this method. I want them to sit tight to the headrail and be nice and flat when down, I don't want the top to sag because the stitiching is too loose.
What would you guys do? I am thinking of suggesting just the one row of machining at the top instead of 2 to see if she'll go for that?!?
