Creating the Perfect Arched "Smile" Shape for Your Relaxed Roman Shade

< Back to Product Videos

In this video, Donna Cash demonstrates how to create the arched “smile” effect on a custom Relaxed Roman Shade. Using our Fabric Covered Sausage Bead Weight pinned to your worktable, you’ll learn how to:

Set the chain to match the finished width of your shade
Adjust the center based on fabric considerations for the desired curve
Measure along the bead chain to determine your final bottom cut width

Donna also uses the R-TEX® Printed Worktable Cover to quickly measure and calculate the final cut width using the printed markings.

This step-by-step tutorial offers practical insight and precision techniques for fabricators and workrooms looking to achieve a smooth, professional “smile” in their Relaxed Roman Shades.
