How to make a blind using rod pocket tape

ROMAN BLIND USING ROD POCKET TAPE

Which is better - Rod Pocket Tape or making Rod Pockets from the lining?

We never use tape in the workroom, as we believe pockets made from the lining and sewn on brass rings give a far more professional finish. We also think it is easier to neatly sew a rod pocket than sew the tape on.

On the plus side for tape, it does reduce the work later as you can use the tape fabric loops rather than sew rings on to guide the cords and clip safety breakouts on rather than sew them on.

Of course if you have a kit where the safety breakouts are clipped on you will have to use the tape provided.

If you are using Rod Pocket Tape you will need to disregard the rod pocket allowance as you will not be making the rod pockets out of the lining. Therefore the ROD POCKET ALLOWANCE (RPA) = 0 when calculating the LINING CUT DROP.
