To use blind tape on blinds, start by attaching the bottom tape first, face up, with the cord pockets visible and the hem side pointing down. Align the hemmed right-hand side of the tape flush with the edge of the blind. Position the top edge of the tape just over the chalk line, and stitch along the full length of the tape as close to the top edge as possible.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Prepare the Blind and Tape:
- Ensure your blind fabric is properly hemmed.
- Unroll your blind tape and determine the desired length.
-
Positioning the Tape:
- Bottom Tape First: Begin with the bottom tape. Place it face up (cord pockets visible).
- Hem Side Down: Make sure the hem side of the tape is oriented downwards.
- Align with Edge: Align the hemmed right-hand side of the tape perfectly flush with the edge of the blind fabric.
- Chalk Line Alignment: Ensure the top edge of the tape barely covers your marked chalk line. The chalk line indicates where you want the top of the tape to be.
-
Stitching:
- Stitch Along Top Edge: Carefully stitch along the entire length of the tape, positioning your stitches as close to the top edge of the tape as possible. This secures the tape to the blind fabric.
By following these steps, you can effectively attach blind tape to your blinds, ensuring proper functionality and a professional finish.
