We hastily mocked up a skinny shade to test the smallest (1.2) Easy Spring Plus cut down for a
16" shade. There's no room in the tube for a stop on such a narrow
shade, but since the spring is so small it doesn't have much "oomph" so
it just naturally stops on its own. John adjusted the rotations so it
stops right where we want it, without an actual stop. We mocked this up
because we had a half dozen skinny shades to make
and
wanted to test the parameters first. FYI, I lined this sheer with a
grey voile, just for fun. The shade has only two lift lines, and a
self-fabric pull tab is sewn into the permanent fold in the back. I
spent way more time than I should have, trying to level this stubborn
little guy. Shades with two lift lines take a lot of fussing because
you can't average the cord tension over a series of lift lines. I also
discovered that the wavy pattern created a disparity in the fabric
"give" and I didn't quite hit the center of the wave so it has a
permanently wonky look. And...... that's why we make mock-ups!
