How to order roller blind stiffening fabric

The fabric is 180cm wide, and this width can be used for the drop, if required. This means if the fabric you need for your blind is 90cm wide x 150 depth, you would need to order 1m of fabric. When measuring, we recommend adding a minimum of  30cm to the finished drop of your window. This will then allow enough fabric to roll around at the top, and to finish the blind at the bottom. LONGER BLINDS: If you blind is longer than 150 cm, then you will need to order the finished length plus 30cm. For the width we suggest an additional 10cm (minimum 2cm) to allow you to get a good seal at the edge and then cut down to size. Full details are at How to Measure for a Roller Blind

We try our best to always send fabric in one continuous length although this is not always possible, we will contact you if this is the case.

We do our best to avoid this and many fabrics can be reordered, again if this occurs we will contact you to discuss the options.

To keep your lovely new fabrics in the best condition we recommend checking out the Product Info for details on how to care for them. Washable fabrics should always be hand washed, before cutting and making your projects, in order to allow for shrinkage.
