1. Preparing the batten

Cut the wooden batten to the finished width of the blind.

Cut a strip of fabric long enough to wrap round all sides of the batten and the ends
(if the blind is going into a recess then a strip of lining can be used instead). Put the
fabric face down on the table and centre the batten on it. Take the batten and on one
side fold over the fabric onto the wood and staple in place, making sure to start in the
middle and work out.

2. Covering the batten

At each end of the batten, fold the end of the fabric over and wrap the batten
like a parcel. Keep the excess fabric on the top and bottom on the wood, rather
than the end, to reduce bulk, trim if necessary. Bring the other side of the fabric
up over the batten and fold under the raw edge. Staple in place on the back
of the batten.

3. Fixing the tape

Cut the touch and close, self adhesive hook tape to length and stick it to the back of
the covered batten, staple in place for extra security.

4. Attaching the guides

To affix the cord guides or vine eyes (we used vine eyes), measure 5cm in from
each end on the bottom of the batten. Divide the length of the batten between
these two points evenly (no more the 30cm apart) and attach a cord guide or
vine eye at each position. Add an extra one on the right hand end of the batten
(if cording on the right).

5. Preparing the fabric

Cut the blind (face fabric) to the finished width by the finished length, making sure to
add all allowances. Cut the lining to the finished width and the finished length, again
adding your allowances for seams and rod pockets and finally cut the interlining to
the finished width and length of the blind.

Preparing the lining.

On the right side of the lining, draw a line 4cm from the bottom raw edge for the
weight bar pocket, then mark the rod pockets, allowing 2cm for each pocket.

On the wrong side, press in 2cm on each side for the side hems. Fold along each pocket line, wrong sides together. Stitch each pocket 1cm from the
folded edge.
When measuring out your rod pockets make sure that the measurement from the bottom rod pocket to the finished length of the blind is no more
than half the width of the distance between the rod pockets.

12 I WFN I JULY 2015

6. Attach the loop tape

Fold over 7cm at the top of the face fabric to the wrong side.
Press and open out. Cut the loop tape to the length required and
stitch to the right side of the top hem, just above the fold.

7. Assembling the fabrics

Put the fabric face down on the table. Centre the interlining on the back of the blind, with
the top raw edge up to the fold. Fold in the side hems over the interlining, and stitch in place.
Centre the lining wrong side down onto the blind, lining up the bottom fold to the bottom edge
of the interlining. Slipstitch the lining to the fabric hem up the sides, leaving the weight bar
pocket unstitched.

8. Securing the layers together

5. Cut a piece of lining allowing for a 3cm turning on all sides.

Underneath each rod pocket, measure and mark the ring positions to line up with the vine eyes or
cord guides on the batten. At each point, use a double thread to stab stitch through all layers and
tie off securely. On the bottom pocket stitch a rear cord breakaway device at each stab stitch point.
On the remaining rod pockets stitch a 13mm ring at each stab stitch point.

9. Finish the top of the blind

At the top of the blind, turn down the top hem, turn under the raw edge and slipstitch on
all three sides, occasionally making a stab stitch through to the face to hold all the layers.
Attach trim (Optional)
At the bottom on the blind, turn up and lightly press the bottom hem. Turn the fabric
over, and on the right side, hand stitch the pompom trim in place, turn the raw ends
to the back.

10. Add the weight bar

Insert the weight bar, and turn up the bottom hem. Turn under the raw edge, and
slipstitch in place, slipstitch the folds closed.

11. Attaching the batten

Put the batten onto the top of the blind, securing the touch and close tape, and
place face down on the table.

12. Breakaway cord tassel

Cut lengths of cord (0176R) and place into the
breakaway tassel. Cut a length of thicker cord (3422R/1)
for the other end of the breakaway tassel (0850R).

13. Cording the blind

Feed the cords through the cord guide or vine eyes from the right, taking one
cord down each vertical row of the clear 13mm rings, these are sew-on at each
rod pocket, apart from the bottom one.
At the bottom rod pocket secure each cord to the corresponding rear cord
breakaway device with a double knot. The rear cord breakaway device is in two
sections, the first section has the blind cord threaded through it and secured
with the double knot, while the 2nd section is stitched to the bottom rod
pocket. Attach a cord weight to the thicker cord (3422R/1) at the desired height.

14. Hanging Your Blind

Use angle brackets to fix the blind to the wall. Fix a cleat at least 150cm
from the ground to wrap the cords round. If all of the cords will not
fit round one cleat, fit a second cleat next to or above to take the
remainder of the cords.
Attach warning labels to the rear cord (0801R/25), the breakaway tassels
(0802R/25) and the self adhesive label (0803R/25) should be attached
to the packaging.
