How to Make a Hobbled Roman Shade

Показать описание
Notes: Add a cord cleat to each window blind for safety. Operating cords must have a default length of 40 percent of the blind height according to Section 4.3.2 of ANSI/WCMA–2018 (previously unlimited). And a warning label must depict more graphically the strangulation hazard associated with cords (5.1).

The hobbled roman shade, sometimes called the teardrop shade, works just like a flat roman shade, except that the shade is fashioned with horizontal pleats (hobbles) that run across the front at regular intervals. In the raised position a hobbled roman shade does not look much different from a flat roman shade. However, in the lowered position the hobbled roman shade contains soft pleats or teardrops making a grad appearance in any position. In this video tutorial we will detail every step required to make a gorgeous hobbled roman shade.

The highest degree of safety will be achieved by making sure that small children are not able to access shades that utilize lift lines and it is with this caution that we offer a complete description of how to make your own Hobbled Roman Shade system.

I love the app! I have looked at several different fabrics and then gone to the calculator and inserted the repeats and widths. How SIMPLE this makes the calculations for fabric and dimensions for the shades. And now this video ! I am so happy you did this for all of us 'visual' learners! Thank you!!

This is a great tutorial, however I wish pressing the fabrics before construction was part of the instructions. Something I’ve learned the hard way! I’ve been sewing for over 50 yrs and I find the extra time it takes to press is well worth it!

I looked at next day blinds and Calico Corners - the prices are staggering. After viewing the tutorial, I believe I can tackle this project on my own. Thank you a ton.

Whew, this was no small job! I'm going to need to watch it a few more times before I have the stamina of Cindi. I commend Sailrite for presenting this to us and also for spectacular camera work, it was right down there were we could see every angle and not miss anything. Great job Cindi and the commentator at Sailrite, thanks.

Interesting tutorials . Can the hobbled blind be hang on a ready made roman shade kit instead of hang it on a wooden board? Thank you

What adjustments would you make to this for an outside mount? The wooden board across the top will be visible from the side, I think
