Hi,
I have nearly finished my first roman blind using all the advice and tips I have heard of on your fantastic site. Thanks to all you talented people I have constructed it without any visible stiches on the face fabric. So pleased with it, will use this method every time now. Can't wait to redo the blinds in my own house using this way.
My 3 questions are -
1)it's a fairly long blind 262cms x 115cms. How far apart should the stab stiching be and should it be done 'thru the rod pckets and should the stiches be kept fairly loose?
2) I am having difficulty finding a suitable bottom bar- I know that I could perhaps order on line but would like to avoid the p&p for this one bar.
I thought I would use a wooden bar instead, any ideas what be the right depth and strength for this ( the pocket is 4cms.)
3) I intend to cover a wooden batten ( headrail ) with lining but will prepare the screw holes first - is there anything I could use to cover the holes in the lining, after I've covered it, or do you think the screw heads should do the job, I just want to give as professional finish as poss.
Hope this makes sense.
