I had exactly the same problem... Now, I only sew velcro on the lining so it doesn't affect the face fabric.

Does that mean the velcro doesn't go right to the edge of the blind over the fabric side hems? Or have you got a photo you could upload? (a picture being worth a thousand words and all that.......)

Hi Louise,

I will take a photo when I have the next one on my table but sadly back to rubbish ones on my phone. I learned to do this at **** and it works so well. The velcro is cut wider than the lining, then trimmed to the width of the finished blind and the ends hand stitched. This makes it the the same width as the finished blind.
