The easiest way to make a Roman Shade!

[@5heinens]

I thought I saw the best video last week, but you really covered every little detail for those of us who are beginners! You didn’t assume that we knew anything! Thank you! This was really the most helpful video out of literally dozens that I watched last week! And your technique is FAR less complicated than many others!

[@angelaboone5429]

This was such a great professional method. I've viewed many and this was the best so far. He made such a complicated professional process seem like the average person could do it. I loved his slow and deliberate descriptions and items needed to complete the project. Very well done.

[@lgarvey2001]

After years looking for the construction of a Roman shade and making it correctly, this is a perfect tutorial. Thank you so much!

[@iswhatitiskiddo5155]

Thank you so much Scott. Best how-to video on this subject I've ever seen.

[@ninarogers3789]

You have an hour long to watch this video?

[@glitter2glaze21]

Thank you Mr. Weaver!!! I thought that the expensive head rail was the only rail. Thank goodness for the clutch! Thank you so much! OMG!

[@lakelife5467]

Your videos are the most detailed and thorough I have seen so far. I love them. Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge. I like when you explain certains methods close to the camera (close up).

[@JWallis-h8l]

This was an excellent video. Thank you. I had trouble threading the string thru the clutch. I found a simple way to make it easier and wanted to pass this on. I used a tapestry needle for each thread and fed it thru the clutch when the clutch was upside down.

[@Factorydirectdesignersworkroom]

Great tip!

[@lydiakinnaman1106]

Your is by far the easiest instruction !!!! Thankyou.

[@sandrasmith5577]

Very impressed, because you showed us that the shade actually works after constructing, and also looks great! . ...Thank you kind sir...

[@altheamcnabb2829]

YOUR INSTRUCTIONS are Absolutely, dead on! BRAVO & Thank You!

[@altheamcnabb2829]

Turn Ikea's cheap pleated shades into Roman shades with these instructions. Just use a small hole punch to put strings through. It will be a bit time-consuming with all the holes but cheap and worth it in the end. If you already have an alligator punch for crafts then Bingo & I do. There will be so much extra material at the bottom you could hot glue in marbles spaced apart for the weight part. No need for a weighted expensive bar. Just a 1$ pack of marbles. My mind is zooming with ideas for this. New project for spring.

[@carolyncoughlin9347]

excellent how-to video for roman shades - the best I've seen.

[@Factorydirectdesignersworkroom]

Thank you!

[@maehay4065]

I love how you take it step by step so it’s easier to grasp your instructions. These are way easier to use than the heavy fake looking shades that were installed before I moved into my home! Excellent video for beginners like myself Sir!✅👍

[@nancygrams1884]

I wish I would have found this video before I made my first roman shade. I will definitely use this video for my next shades. Very easy to follow,and I like no sewing for the rings and rods. Excellent video.Thanks.

[@Factorydirectdesignersworkroom]

Your welcome!

[@InTheMusicBox]

Wow, thank you very much for all the information but mainly for the "do not install this if you have children" bit! I was thinking about roman blinds, and watched several videos and nobody brought this up. Thank you so much for reminding us kids and cords do not match as they are a chock hazard. What a great mistake was I about to make!

[@brendabrenda6843]

Great tutorial, however, I’ve been making shades for some years now and I find cord locks to be a hassle. I prefer to adjust the height of the shade just by wrapping the cord on a cleat.

[@wanntabebetter]

Brenda, I'd like to try making Roman Shades for my home, Where is the best place to buy the supplies? I can't find Scott's store on ebay.

[@brendabrenda6843]

Ruby Ruth try Rowley Company

[@wanntabebetter]

@@brendabrenda6843 Thank you! Wish me luck. I'm not a great sewer but I'm going to give it a shot.

[@twoawesomedogs]

I have watched at least 10 of these videos and this one was the best one. I plan to do this within the week - already got my fabric!

[@angelaboone5429]

Where did you find the rib kit?

[@marlindavwilson3148]

This was a good tutorial. I watched others, but you really explained especially how to use the pulley. Very easy to follow. Thank you,

[@sunbeansnflowersluv]

You make everything look so easy.

[@jeanneelwood5485]

Best instructions by far! Thank you

[@Factorydirectdesignersworkroom]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lwsbkr3457]

The frequent camera refocusing is very distracting for a visual learner.

[@deborahbartelt2306]

This was such a great demonstration. The tips worked so well ! Thank u Scott

[@angelaboone5429]

did you find the rib kit?

[@riekodi5508]

Thanks so much for your detailed instructions. I however visited your website but could not find anything for purchase. Thanks again and God bless.

[@MsBettyRubble]

This is such a great tutorial! I had no idea that children and cords were an issue. Have you done a tutorial on cordless Roman Shades?

[@chucklenz9011]

To help eliminate those wrinkles and bubbles hold your first hem fold over back about 1/16th to 1/8th. Then you won’t scrunch up your lining creating said wrinkles and bubbles.

[@chucklenz9011]

Nice neat method for Roman shade, but it does have the exposed strings as u said.

[@helenbowie6301]

Awesome video thanks...much easier than when I made a Roman shade before.

[@carolinaorphin]

I sewed a tube for the iron bar before inserting into the shade so the threads would not snag onto the bottom hem

[@sueellenblubaugh934]

With soooo many people leaving youtube I wish you would upload these vids onto Dtube otherwise I'll miss these fore sure

[@kaylhs]

Great video! I missed how you sewed the sides of the shade. Could you please give more detail on that part? Thank you.

[@Factorydirectdesignersworkroom]

Sorry for the late reply! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHmugnuen7tsi7c

[@Dawn4Utah]

I've already made 3 Roman Shades using a different method and yours seems much simpler to accomplish. I still have 2 more to do on a different set of windows, so I will try using your method. Only thing about your video is the constant blurry focus... I had a cornea transplant a year ago and have enough frustration with my vision, I thought I was the only one that is bothered, but I see a few other comments about the camera focus as well. Perhaps you could re-do the video someday and use a different camera? Thanks for your excellent teaching style!

[@Factorydirectdesignersworkroom]

Sorry I have fixed the camera issue now!

[@marystuartharlow1231]

Very good directions! Thanks!

[@niamcclendon7902]

Thank you! Your video is very easy to follow! I'm going to start my shades tomorrow.

[@Nursie]

So impressed with ur shade! Best I have seen so far! Can u update where to purchase these supplies? Thank u sir!!

[@a.a.palacios49]

You didn't mention what size to cut the liner. In your other videos it says to cut to the same width of the window (finished width?) and add 4" to the length of the window. Is it the same here?

[@tamialex7579]

Scott, do you prefer shades with the ribs or without and why? I think I remember viewing one of your videos on roman shades where you used just the tied on rings without ribs, and you pressed the folds for a clean lay. Not sure if the type of fabric I would use would matter if ribs should be used...? Thanks for your thoughts and expertise on this matter! Love your videos, btw!

[@lordsgirl1123]

This is an excellent tutorial, Scott. Thank you so much.

[@angelaboone5429]

Did you find the rib kit anywhere?

[@lisadesign19]

Great job thanks

[@mercyjesus7984]

thank u so much , STILL IS VERY HARD FINDING TIME TO DO IT. WORKING SO MUCH. IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE MORE FAST STILL AS GOOD.??? BY THE TIME I HAVE ANY time left-- cleaning and cooking and going to work again is slaving my life. BUT I WISH SO MUCH TO HAVE A NEAT PRETTY HOUSE.!!!

[@Factorydirectdesignersworkroom]

When your done can you come over and clean my home and I will make your window treatments! LOL!!! Have a great day👍🏻

[@monicaespinosa6264]

I’m really enjoying this tutorial however the focusing at times is really awful and I I almost want to stop watching!!! But I can’t because you explain everything so well and understandable!!!

[@aalovelace2776]

So excellent! Thank you

[@Factorydirectdesignersworkroom]

You're very welcome!

[@creationsoffarzid1154]

Could not find those rod holder gadgets. It was also not seen on your page on Amazon. Please could you show us a closer picture of the plastic clip like item that holds the rods ?

[@debbiehill1257]

Thanks for your great tutorial...you mentioned in one of your videos not to use the crochet thread tie-ing method on silk... so I'm curious what you recommend for silk romans?

[@Wyldhare47]

Excellent..thankyou Scott!

[@rollergirl55]

Very easy to follow tutorial. The only criticism I have is on technical videography. Someone is focusing the camera which I find very distracting. I am confused as to why this was necessary…the position of the table, shade and the demonstrator’s position relative to the camera never changes, so why is adjusting the focus necessary?

[@Factorydirectdesignersworkroom]

Sorry it was an older camera and I didn’t realize it kept auto focusing. I stopped using the camera!

[@mirabelng37]

a very good and detailed video. thankyou.

[@Factorydirectdesignersworkroom]

Thank you for watching

[@dignasevilla4267]

THE BEST VIDEO JUST WHAT I NEEDED THANH YOU VERY MUCH YOU BEING GRATE

[@violet2048]

Excellent, I'm confident I can do this. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@lindaschuler2828]

Where do I purchase the fiberglass rods with the rings?

[@bpurdum]

I love the video but the link to buy the rib kits did not work-- can you please tell me how to get the rib kits?

[@violet2048]

Most fabric stores, not quilt shops, that specialize in drapery fabrics also sell the hardware.

[@ginniebennett2239]

Where do you purchase those fiberglass rods?

[@lynngraziano8498]

where can I buy the rib kit? I live in California

[@MigdaliaRoman-x9m]

What is name of the sew on rings to hold the fiberglass dowels? I can not find it on amazon.

[@yasirmajeed9541]

Did you hem the sides or straight stench?

[@janevt.5914]

Great video however I’m finding it hard to find the hardware on your website or on amazon. Anyone that can help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[@GraeMatterz]

Very informative video. I've been looking for a window treatment that doesn't cover the craftsman style window casings in my home (I love them). Doing an inside the frame roman shade may be the answer. You mention not using this design around children. What about pets? I have a couple of cats who love to sit in the window. I'm concerned about them getting tangled in the cords. You suggested adding a second liner over the cords/rods. (I guess it would be more light blocking too.) Wouldn't that make the shade too thick? Would it be possible to omit the first liner and put the rods/rings directly onto the back of the fabric, then add the liner after it was assembled? Another question about the threaded rod weight: Do you ever have problems with the threaded rod rusting and staining the fabric? Would placing shrink wrap tubing on the rod prevent that? Thanks for the tutorial.

[@initiate22000]

Do you sell these parts? I went to your website, but did not see anything to buy. Thank you.

[@karanrana3498]

ok it's nice but if curtains become dirty then we have to wash then how we can wash or change?

[@joannthompson5100]

What is the name and manufacturer of this fabric you used in this video

[@hismusicnme]

Thank you for the very detailed video. I went to the link you provided, however, I cannot find the rib kit anywhere. How might I purchase this. I'm in need of several asap. Thank you.

[@sharonzapotocky9973]

Very good video. Thanks!

[@saskjoe1968]

Next I’ll show you how to make a Venetian blind-but don’t, they need to see where they’re going! 😎

[@christineweglinski5444]

Hi Scott, can you please give me more information on where you purchased the "rods with the rings"? I can't seem to find them anywhere online or in a decorator store. I appreciate your feedback. Thanks.

[@Factorydirectdesignersworkroom]

Please follow the link on our website www.factorydirectdesignersworkroom.com. Many thanks, Scott

[@susancox9070]

I couldn't find the Roman shade hardware on your website. Are they no longer for sale?

[@Kathamm85]

I am looking too. Not much there.

[@stacyfarrar1033]

What did you use for the lining

[@sammiedav1053]

love it … great demo

[@jaypratasik2687]

nice cloth, is that batik? indonesian traditional cloth

[@purbabeto]

Where can I buy burgundy string? I don't know what size to ask for or can I order it?

[@kaungzawhtet5328]

How do we wash it after some length of time?

[@caroleolsen8842]

I was able to find just about everything you mentioned in your video on Amazon Prime. However, the 1/4" Ribs were $56.00! I'm hoping to find something similar at Home Depot. Thank you for you video.

[@marytaylor3831]

Wooden dowels :)

[@andrea-oe3wr]

gracias x tu tiempo y enseñar .

[@dorothysmith1063]

Can you please do a video on how to make a London shade with Contrast box pleats?

[@annmedis4449]

Great video!!!! Thank you.

[@bevtooth]

The lining doesnt look very smoothed out

[@merrelspencer954]

I think sailrite has the ribs.

[@mykelb]

You failed to include in the notes where to find the hardware for sale.

[@dianevessels2632]

Not sure why the camera keeps going out of focus. Very frustrating.

[@cleanqueen75]

My slatted Roman shade doesn’t seem to want to pull up evenly. How can this problem be resolved?

[@Factorydirectdesignersworkroom]

You could try taking off the cord tassel and tape all the lift cords and trim so there all even or possibly replacing the cord lock?

[@jafallica]

Video keeps blurring

[@gladtidings4all]

Too much focusing in and out

[@jax65h94]

Could this simply be due to the camera being on autofocus? If you watched the video you would have noticed him adjusting the camera a couple of times manually (himself), he didn't have a cameraperson.

[@rychei5393]

Cool, now motorize it.

[@urbanistic5]

thabk You , like your stand for hot glue gun

[@Painterr62]

What is up with all of the annoying focusing?

[@Factorydirectdesignersworkroom]

Bad camera! I just purchased a new one and hoping to add more videos.

[@dianevessels2632]

Your camera focusing and refocusing is very frustrating.

[@jillcaretto7996]

Good tutorial very bad camera work.

[@meshallbe]

The focus on this is highly annoying

[@jafallica]

Boring boring boring and slowwwwwwww

[@GraeMatterz]

Click on the gear at the lower right corner and change the speed. You can go as high as 2x the normal speed.
