Sewing the Roller Blind

If you need to hem the sides, start by doing this and ironing the hems flat.

Usually, the top edge of the blind will be attached by Velcro to the wooden batten at the top of the window. Sew the furry part of the Velcro to the fabric, turning in a narrow single hem to hide the raw edge. It’s a good idea to use a zipper foot when attaching Velcro so you can stitch close to the furry part. This method also makes it easy to remover the blind for cleaning. However your kit may suggest a different way to attach the fabric at the top, so read the instructions before you sew.

Make a hem at the bottom of the fabric which is big enough to take the wooden or plastic rod or lath.
