We had some Roman blinds made for 2 sets of bifold doors and a window last November, we have been really happy with them until now.
This morning I was winding one of them up when suddenly all 6 of the orbs/adjustable plastic stoppers fell down and now the blind is down and obviously we are unable to wind it up again.
I rang a local blind making company and they said that they wouldn't repair it, and suggested asking a local seamstress. He seemed to have come across the problem before from what I'd described, and said something along the lines of needing strong nylon cord to stitch them to the back of the lining and threaded through the headrail.
I know nothing about Roman blinds, and the type we have seem to have the cord bits contained within a cassette type thing on the headrail that looks like it needs to be unscrewed to access it. Not sure if this is a very fiddly thing to do?
I did try ringing a local seamstress but she admitted she knew nothing about blinds either, but has agreed to have a look.
I just wondered if anyone here has any helpful advice please? Sorry if I've used incorrect terminology. My mum has offered to help look at it and try to fix it if possible by comparing it to the one which still works ok but I'm not sure how feasible this is and don't want to cause yet more damage.
Many thanks in advance.
