Thank you Philippe! You are probably aware we have a bit of French heritage here in Louisiana. My dad grew up in a French speaking household. But unfortunately as the decades roll on the French speakers a becoming fewer and fewer. Thanks again Barry
Hem the bottom and slide a sail batten into the hem. They are available at Sailrite as well as many other places. Slit the pipe and slide the batten and hem into the pipe. Hem the top and bottom for the sail battens. Sticky tape or seam tape works well and you will notice very little residue when using it. Has the advantage of helping to waterproof seams where needed.
The unfortunate reality of TH-cam is all of the tips and suggestions, some good, some bad, come after the projects are completed. Sometimes years after! Were it not for the choice of fabric I made, the method I used to construct these shades would require no sewing machine and no special tools. I think for a lot of people that is a plus. Your method would probably look more professional though. As always, thank you for the feedback. Barry
