Hi All
Have a dilemma and am tearing my hair out. Have spent the last few days, pattern matching and interlining and lining hand printed silk roman blind. Everything has gone really well and is looking fabulous. I sewed the velcro to the top last night and my finished width was supposed to be 67 3/4'' but once the velcro was sewn it has ended up at 67'' and I don't know why. I have unpicked and restitched and the same has happened again. Whenever I measure before the width is perfect and as soon as the velcro goes on it ends up at 67''. I am also concerned now as the print on the fabric is slightly rubberised so all the time I am stitching and unpicking the holes will just become holes and the fabric will be damaged.
Really wanted to hang this blind soon and don't want to feel pressured as this makes mistakes but any advice would be very much appreciated.
regards
