So who can make my Roman Blind? As you may know, Roman blinds are technical window furnishings that require geometry, mathematics, and precision to get a good finish. The sign of a well-made and hung Roman Blind is the way it hangs effortlessly straight up and down without any signs of twisting or straining.
Things to look for in the finished blind.
The Roman Blind needs to be attached perfectly onto a system. The operating cords must be evenly spaced and of equal lengths. If not the whole blind will pull up skewed.
Corners need to be square and straight, the rows of stitching on the blind need to be parallel and have even stitches.
Patterns should be centralized on the face of single blinds. If there is a strong pictorial element to your fabric you may need to be a bit more flexible with this. In the case of a bay window or a set of blinds that are being fitted side by side, a follow round pattern placement could be preferred. Your Blind maker will be able to help you with these decisions.
