I too have a dilemma, waiting to do a course in October with Wendy Shorter Interiors for Advanced Roman Blinds. Have made loads of blinds in the past but wanted to know about new techniques etc. I make them by sewing lining and main fabric together, working out my drops usually 4 lengths of roman blind tape on the back of the blind and then stitch velcro on the top and wooden batten in the window reveal and stick velcro on the front of the batten, staple too and then thread the cords at the back through eyes screwed up into the batten.
Was wondering whilst waiting I am making a 45" wide roman blind and the only dowelling I can get from any shop is very thin wooden dowelling and it has snapped in the past. Has anyone used Merrick and Day Fibreglass rods and are they strong enough????
or any other advice???
The only other thing is my old boss used to buy in roman blind tape that used to take 6mm dowel and it was brilliant, but have not been able to find it anywhere and she wouldn't tell me
thanks any advice much appreciated.
