Cutting fabric roller blinds is a practical and economical manual skill that can help you customize roller blinds to the size of your window.
Before you start, check your tools: fabric, track (such as a Roman rod), scissors, ruler, chalk (marks can be washed off), clips or pins.
First, choose a flat table or floor to facilitate the arrangement of fabric.
1. Measure the size: Use a tape measure to accurately measure the width and height of the window. Considering that the roller blind needs to cover the entire window and leave a certain margin, it is recommended to add 2-3 cm to the width and 5-10 cm to the height for subsequent fixing and adjustment.
2. Make marks: Lay the fabric flat on the workbench and mark the cutting line on the fabric with a ruler and chalk or marker. Generally draw straight lines (as needed) to avoid skew after cutting.
3. Cut the fabric: Use scissors to carefully cut along the drawn marks. Keep your hands steady when cutting and keep the edges of the fabric neat. If the fabric is thick or made of special materials, it is recommended to use professional fabric cutting tools.
4. Fixing: Fix the cut fabric to the roller blind track to ensure that the fabric is flat and wrinkle-free. Use clips or pins to temporarily fix it, and then make final adjustments.
5. Check: After fixing the fabric to the track, compare it to confirm whether it completely covers the window and whether the edges are aligned. If necessary, you can make fine adjustments to ensure that the roller blind is beautiful and practical.
