If I sew it on after, I need to sew over the dowels. Sometimes, I feel so dense.
I am thinking Martina that you will have to sew the rings on your backing material first then sew the two pieces of fabric together and sew you channels for the dowel rods- that should work fine

Sew the dowels in by hand, not going through the track for the dowel.
