Hobbled shades!

I've been humming "Willin'" to myself this afternoon- you know, the Lowell George song- "I've driven every kind of rig that's ever been made....."
Thinking of hobbled shades. 

I guess I've made nearly every kind of hobbled shade possible, and if I haven't made it, I'm probably about to.  (Seriously.  I've got a 158" wide hobbled geometric shade coming up next month!  And a room-full of flat back blackout reverse mount hobbled).

I guess I have been working for years with designers and homeowners who happen to love the clean, tailored look, who like shades that don't need dressing when they're raised, and who prefer a shade with more interest than a flat roman when lowered.

I guess that's why Susan Woodcock asked me to teach a Master Class at Workroom Tech on "Hobbled and Austrian Shades" at the end of March!  Why not join us and add this versatile style to your repertoire?

From bay windows-

To oversize blackout hobbled shades-

From geometric patterns in a bay-

To motorized shades for 3 sides of a room, with a busy, tricky pattern to align perfectly-

From sheer fabrics-

To upholstery weight-

With shaped, bottom banding-

Or totally plain-

I guess we've done it all!
In class, I'll be showing different fabrics, fabrication methods, and lift systems so you'll have a hobbled shade solution for any set of circumstances.  I'll also be teaching how to work with pattern and several methods for making a hobbled shade compliant with the safety standards.
