Screw Eye Detail [Item SEM] A low cost solution for your headrail. In the spirit of offering everything needed to make your own Roman shade, you can purchase this item. If you have read almost any part of my directions, you know that I never use this product, but ALWAYS use a simple flat pulley [Item PF] to direct the lift lines at the top of the shade. Note the one exception to this is when you are making a Top-Down Only Shade. You will be using these screw eyes for your Guide Lines. You may request a sample of this item.
Advantage of using Screw Eyes ($0.20 each): less expensive than a Flat Pulley ($1.65 each). Disadvantage of using Screw Eyes: Even though the inside surface of these screw eyes are smooth, you still have a great deal of rubbing friction when the shade is operated. There is no comparison between the operational ease of a shade using pulleys versus a shade using screw eyes. I spend a lot of time making my shades and think $10 more in hardware to assure flawless operation is well worth it. Back to Shopping
