I've got 4 new roller blinds to cut down to fit the width of the window recesses and am scared of doing something wrong. These were fairly expensive blinds.
What do I need to know before going at them with a hack saw (for the metal poles) and scissors (for the blind itself)? Is it easy to hacksaw through metal or will there be a jagged edge that rips the blind? How can I ensure it's exactly the right fit when I start cutting/sawing?
Has anyone done this and regrets not knowing something before that first cut? Please tell me what to watch out for!
