Soft Sew-On Hook and Loop Fastener Detail [Item V34] This is an excellent product that is just like "soft" Velcro, but less expensive. You sew the loop portion to the back of your shade at the top. You staple the hook portion to the mounting board. Note that this item earns Terrell's flawless use Award.
You may request a sample of this item. Why I like this product: Most instructions for making Roman shades tell you to staple the top of your shade to the mounting board. I can't stand that method! Let me tell you, after nearly smothering under a large shade trying to screw the mounting board to the window trim I decided there had to be a better way. So rather than staple the shade, I stapled the hook fastener (that is the stiff part of the Velcro) to the board. Then I sewed the loop fastener to the back top of the shade. Voila! I could attach the mounting board to the window BEFORE placing the shade onto the mounting board. Even a very long board is easy to level and screw into the wall since there is no fabric hanging down from it. The typical shade uses 1-3 yards of Velcro (the width of your shade). I am more than willing to pay $6-$18 to make installation simple. I also find that I seldom have to hire a professional installer since it is now so easy to put up the shades. That is a real savings.
