the HUGE thing in this is , how much fabric you put in the pleat, judging by stripe it is 3-4 inches, , the proportions are beautiful, but if you put 6-9 " or so will be a completely different look
Thank you so much for reposting this video and covering some of the questions that we had after your first one. This is a lot clearer and I do appreciate your efforts as understanding the cord looping mechanisms, for those of us who are spatially challenged, is not easy.
Thank you, it's pretty clear, however, since it doesn't need to be attached to a board, can the pulley and screw eyes be attached directly to the window sill (underneath)?
Thank you, yours was Thr first video to pop up and I was stuck on how I was folding the fabric. So easy to understand. Even without the foot I managed on my pant hem!😊
Great explanation and illustrations. AS it happens, I am wanting to replace sun damaged cellular (top down bottomup) shades with a fabric roman shade style. Have been trying to figure out in my head how I could replicate it as I like the look and privacy offered for the long vertical front window panels.. Thank you for your very helpful video.
Hi Jen, thank you very much for offering advice. I will need a bit as I am a guy whos had a some exposure to a sewing machine but, this would be a huge delicacy for my home. I am confident I can hack and stitch this up.. I just hope the stitching doesn't show my lack of experience but, I am going to put it to the test. My question: I have one window opening with three vertical casement windows within it. I want a Top Down Bottom Up Roman Shade. I understand the cords would be on the outside edges and none are suggested within the middle areas. The overall window area is 70" wide and 40" tall. (Question: Wouldn't it be ok to stitch in a opening on the very bottom to insert a solid horizontal bar and 2 more across the verticals to prevent the " excessive relaxed swag". Thank you
I have flagged your video for reference and it has been quite helpful for me to sew on missing garment buttons over the years. Thank you so very much for putting out this video all those years ago.
Hello I found your channel recently. I have Levolor cellular shades bottom up kind. I am wondering if there is a way to convert these to top down bottom up by making some alterations? Thought you might know. Would really appreciate if you could teach that. Thank you in advance.
Thanks for the explanation. So very helpful. But please stop using the word 'simply'. If it were that simple, we wouldn't need tutorials like yours which we obviously dearly need. Thanks again.
A pity you don't show how to do it step by step. But good to know the names of the stitches. I can look it up in Google. They show how to do it. Thanks.
BIG thumbs up! I had to hunt up my darning plate to eliminate dog feed movement but that 5 min was far outweighed by the 45-60 minutes saved in sewing on rings to three roman shades. Front side looks great and no puckering! The machine stitches look far better than my hand sewing has turned out on other roman shades I've done.
