MAKING WIDE ROMAN BLINDS

To make a wide Roman blind well requires accurate measuring and care to get everything straight and square as any errors will be amplified. This makes it much more challenging to get a good finish but can be helped by the tools and techniques you use. We wouldn't recommend a wide blind for your first blind making project.

Wide blinds usually use more than one width of fabric (sometimes you may railroad it). This affects the fabric and lining qty calculation, particularly if you are using a patterned fabric. Where to join the fabric and what to do if joins are close to the edge of the blind need to be considered in the blind design.

The making method is the same as that laid out in our Lined, Interlined and Blackout Roman Blind tutorials except the fabric and linings need to be joined.

The weight of a wide blind is a factor when choosing your headrail / batten system. If you choose the wrong system you may find the blind won't pull up.

Cindy takes you through the key differences and considerations when making a wide Roman Blind below:
