You're probably right. It might not be too bad the second time around. There are many new conveniences for Roman Shades now too. RING TAPE is one of them. I did this shade 25 years ago on maternity leave. Probably a mistake right there LOL. Also I found a company (Rollease) who will custom make (length) the upper pulley mechanism and if you send them the fabric-they'll cover the board and attach the mechanism. That's what I'm talking about. It was reasonably priced too. Sigh. I didn't throw it away though. It's still hanging in my family room. Doesn't go up and down though LOL. Thanks for the URL.
