Step 3A: (Conditional for Cords Forward Shade)
Make Bracket Slits
If the shade is cords forward (the fabric falls off the back of
the headrail) and you are installing an outside mount, you
will need to make small slits in the shade fabric to insert the
mounting brackets. Put a piece of masking tape, about 1
long, on the face of the shade at each bracket location.
Measure the exact position for each bracket and mark a 1"
cutting line on the masking tape directly below the
underside of the headrail. Using a sharp blade, carefully
cut a 1" slit through the masking tape and the shade
fabric at each marked location.
Important:
The slits must be placed exactly at the bottom
edge of the headrail. If they are too high or too low, the
shade fabric can bunch up or the cloth can rip.

Step 5: Attach the Cord Cleat
For the cord cleat, choose a location that is close to the
shade, and a height that will be safe for children. Attach
the cord cleat to the wall using the two color -matched
screws provided.
Caring for Your Shade
Your Roman shade will provide you with a lifetime of
beauty and pleasure with minimal care and cleaning.
Vacuum using brush or dust head attachment.
Dust lightly using a soft, clean cloth.
Dry clean your shade if it needs a more thorough cleaning.
Never immerse the shade in water or liquids of any type.
Troubleshooting
My shade will not raise or lower.
Check the draw cords. Make sure they are not caught on the
mounting L-brackets or screws.
When I pull the draw cord, only one side of the shade moves
up or down.
Make sure your shade is not caught on an
obstruction, such as a part of the window sill, crank,
or latch. or
Check to determine if any of the draw cords have become
untied or knotted accidentally.
