Step 1

First we need to put the chain into the mechanism. To do this you need to take the mechanism out of the track. This is the fitting that holds the mechanism onto the track this needs to be unscrewed so that the mechanism will pull off easily.

There are two grooves either side that you need to push in so that it releases the cap. Please use a flat headed screw driver to do this.

The mechanism should now push back onto the track easily making sure the metal shaft that runs through the track is pushed into the square hole on the mechanism for your track to work correctly.  Now the mechanism can be screwed securely back onto the track.

How to Effectively Pattern Match Fabrics

How to Effectively Pattern Match Fabrics

Pattern fabrics have a vertical repeat, when making curtains we use this repeat. To work out the pattern repeat simply measure from the top of the design in one spot down to the same spot on the design below.

All cut lengths have to start at the same point in the pattern so they match at the seams when joined; this means that a cut length has to be a multiple of the pattern repeat. Once you have determined your pattern repeat you need to work out the cut length of your widths please see example below.

4 x 69cm = 276cm = cut length
