Factory Construction Change: Sheer Fabric FRS
Applies to: All I8 FRS Collections, starting with PO 670291
What Changed
For B/O (Back-Out) Fabric Roman Shades made with sheer face fabrics only, the factory has updated the side hem construction:
- Previous method: Double-turned side hem
- New method: Pillowcase side hem
Why the Change Was Made
The new pillowcase side hem construction provides three key improvements:
- Reduces visible seam marks on the face of the material
- Prevents the black of the lining from showing through the sheer face fabric
- Eliminates edge light bleed caused by gaps between the face fabric and lining
What Stays the Same
All other fabric combinations (non-sheer) will continue to use the existing double-turned side hem construction. This change is specific to sheer face fabrics only.
Next Steps Noted
- A sample will be added to the training room for reference
- The FRS product guides will be updated accordingly to reflect this new construction method
Photos of new method are below, please note this is for SHEER ROMANS WITH BO LINER ONLY
