- Discussion on function and design of the Roman blind. Accurate measuring for various
window shapes including bay windows. Fabric estimation and accurate calculations for
rod pocket spacing for standard fold and waterfall/cascade folds. Demonstration on
suitable hardware, fixtures and fittings. - In our opinion Roman blinds look and function better if there is no visible machine stitching
to the front. Students will make a fully operational hand-sewn Roman blind, compliant with
blind regulations.
