Five Basic Steps to A Roman Shade Business

Incorporating a Roman Shade Business will be a tremendous asset. They are one of the easiest treatments to master.

The most difficult part of the construction to the shade can be the top treatment or the addition of embellishments.

Five Basic Steps to a Roman Shade Business

3. Measuring -it is extremenly important to measure your window at three points: Top Middle and Bottom. Not all windows are square. If making an inside mount you will use the smallest measurement.

4. Squaring the fabric for the shade is as important as varifying the squarness of the window. Squaring is two fold:

A. When using a print fabric make sure the print is balanced from the sides.
B. Square the shade before sewing rings will insure your treatment hangs correctly.Click her for picture
