Half panel roman blind, lined (RB5)

A similar style to our full panel roman blind (RB4) but the intermediate (base edge of each stack) is a soft fold without a seam. Hence this style has less horizontal seams than the RB4 style blind. When the blind is fully raised horizontal seams can not be seen.
Like the RB4 style, this blind is ideal for wider width windows if you’d like to avoid vertical fabric joins.

View gallery for more images of our Customised Roman Blind styles.

• Suitable Fabrics:
  This structured roman blind style is suitable for sheer or lightweight fabrics and a lined blind is required. This style can also be used with solid fabrics.
  Select a preferably plain fabric, where horizontal seams will not interrupt the fabric pattern. For wide width windows, select a wide width fabric that can be railroaded to avoid vertical seams from fabric joins. Velvets are not suitable for main fabric or bands. Visit Customer Login for further fabric suitability info or contact BQ.

• Lining:
  Our standard lined RB5 blind includes 3 pass blockout stiffened lining in ivory colour. Other lining options available include: 3 pass stiffened white lining, 1 pass off white lining or polyester (translucent) lining in neutral colour.

• Contrast bands and trims:
  For blinds with a contrast band or decorative trim added to the blind base or inset from base, when the blind is fully raised the base of the blind will sit below the stack so the contrast band or trim is visible.

• Sizing:
  Maximum size is 340cm wide x 300cm drop. BQ Design’s production warranty does not apply to blinds greater than 300cm wide x 300cm drop. Stack ups and batten spacing will be calculated based on total drop of blind and customer styling requirements specified to BQ. Front stacks range from 27.5cm to 33.5cm.

Full panel roman blind, lined or unlined (RB4)

A modern blind style with horizontal seams sewn in face fabric at all folds and visible at the intermediate (base edge of each stack) when the blind is raised. This style is recommended if a structured unlined blind is required, or if a lined blind is required and a sheer or lightweight fabric is used, or a lined blind style with horizontal seams is preferred.

This blind style is ideal for wider width windows if you’d like to avoid vertical fabric joins.
For an unlined RB4 blind, battens are sewn into back pockets of the main fabric at the base and top of each stack, giving the blind more structure than our other unlined blind styles RB6 and RB8. Side turns/hems can be sewn on request, if prefer to avoid tape used to secure fabric.

For a lined RB4 blind, battens are sewn into the lining at the base and top of each stack.

Suitable Fabrics

Casual fold roman blind
(RB8 unlined, RB9 lined)

An unstructured roman blind style made without battens that softly folds (rather than gathers as occurs with our soft gather roman blind) when the blind is raised.

When the blind is down it sits as a flat panel of fabric with no horizontal seams or gathering. Each fold is 150mm deep and the blind is finished with a fabric lathe base, 100mm standard side turns and discreet vertical stitch lines in colour matched thread align with the strings required for blind operation.

View gallery for more images of our Customised Roman Blind styles.

• Suitable Fabrics:
  Recommended for sheer or lightweight fabrics, plain or pattern fabrics. When the blind is raised, linen and other natural fibre fabrics will sit with more softness and drape, compared to fabrics with a high polyester content that will sit with firmer straighter folds. Wide width fabrics are recommended for wider windows to avoid vertical fabric joins. If fabric joins are required, print fabric will be expertly pattern matched. For butting blinds installed on the same window or bay windows, fabric pattern flow can be provided on request. Additional fabric metreage may be required. Velvets are not suitable for main fabric or bands and decorative trims can be added for additional interest. Fabric suitability should be discussed with BQ before proceeding. The casual fold roman blind style requires less fabric than our other unlined blind styles.

• Lining:
  If adding lining to your casual fold roman blind, our standard lining for the RB9 blind is translucent polyester lining in a neutral colour. Other lining types not available.

• Sizing:
  Maximum size is 340cm wide x 300cm drop. BQ Design’s production warranty does not apply to blinds greater than 300cm wide x 300cm drop. Finished drop is measured to base lathe.

Soft gather roman blind
(RB6 unlined, RB7 lined)

An unstructured roman blind style that gathers from the base when raised. No battens are added.

When blind is down three secured fabric gathers sit at base of blind. These gathers can be removed or reduced on request and less fabric will be required. Discreet vertical stitch lines in colour matched thread are present and align with strings for blind operation. Wide width blinds may have multiple evenly spaced vertical stitching lines where cords sit at back of blind. Blinds have standard 100mm side turns.

View gallery for more images of our Customised Roman Blind styles.

• Suitable Fabrics:
  The RB6 unlined roman blind style is recommended for sheer or lightweight fabrics and is made without lining.

Channel

Ideal for: bedspreads, quilt covers, throw rugs, bed valances, pillowcases, cushions, wall panels and bedheads.

BQ offer the following channel quilting methods:

• Multi-needle channel quilting
• Frame channel quilting
• Outline channel quilting

The recommended quilting method depends on the size of the finished product, width and fabric (plain or patterned) used and required channel direction. All our channel quilting methods have the same filling and lining options mentioned below. 

Multi-needle channel quilting

Multi-needle quilting is our most common channel quilting method and our most affordable quilting style.

Straight evenly spaced lines are quilted on the length direction of the fabric, to create channels.

• Quilting dimensions:
  The following channel widths are available: 7.5cm, 10cm, 12.5cm, 15cm, 17.5cm, 20cm or 22.5cm. Consider the finished size of your quilted product when deciding channel width. Use for reversible product styles only when fabric joins not required eg: throw rugs. Quilting dimensions are approximates and vary depending on filling weight used.

• Process used:
  The fabric is quilted first in panels approximately 150cm wide and of unlimited length. We then cut, join panels and sew your fabric according to the style and size of your selected product. This ensures fabric joins are concealed in the stitched channel. When joining pattern fabric on wide width products such as bedspreads and quilt covers, perfect pattern match can not always be achieved.

• Suitable fabrics:
  Plain or patterned fabric in standard or wide width where the pattern can be easily joined and pattern matched. Durable medium to heavy weight fabrics preferred. For patterned fabrics with wide pattern repeats or those that can not be easily patterned matched we may suggest channel frame quilting. For patterned fabrics with a horizontal or linear pattern, we suggest outline channel quilting if channels are to perfectly align with the fabric pattern. Velvets not suitable.

• Thread:
  Black or natural colour

Frame channel quilting

Channels can be sewn in a vertical or horizontal direction. Recommended for products using a coloured quilting thread rather than black or natural and for bedspreads and quilt covers using patterned fabric that is not easily pattern matched.

Maximum quilting area is 304cm wide x 279cm length. Some king size bedspreads may need to be outline or multi-needle channel quilted, due to restrictions on the sewing frame size.

  The following channel widths are available: 15cm, 20cm, 25cm and 30cm. Consider the finished size of your quilted product when deciding channel width. Quilting dimensions are approximates and vary depending on filling weight used.

• Process used:
  First we cut and join the fabric and then we quilt, providing pattern and quilting match. Fabric joins will be exposed especially on plain fabrics.

• Suitable fabrics:
  Plain and patterned fabrics. Durable medium to heavy weight fabrics preferred. Wide width fabrics are recommended on larger products such as bedspreads and quilt covers, to avoid visible fabric joins. If channel quilting a patterned fabric and fabric joins are required, frame channel quilting may provide better pattern match than multi-needle channel quilting, although fabric joins are likely to be visible rather than hidden in channels as is possible with multi-needle channel quilting . For fabrics with a horizontal or linear pattern, we suggest outline channel quilting if channels are to perfectly align with the fabric pattern.

• Thread:
  Colour matched to suit the main background colour of your fabric.

Outline channel quilting

A straight line of stitching traces along the check or stripe pattern of the fabric, emphasising the fabric pattern and providing greater stitching accuracy as compared to other quilting methods. Recommended for king size bedspreads that may be too large for frame quilting.

FABRIC

QUANTITY & SIZING

This bedhead style consists of a 15cm wide padded band and square panel sewn insert with blind button detail.

Additional rows of panels are available on request, for non standard height bedheads.

A calico insert sits behind mattress.

Bedhead shapes available: 8 and 9.

Chain Side: Chain not required for blinds with a motorisation system or spring assist.

Fabric: Please provide the following fabric information to BQ if applicable (and upload images to assist) :

* Face side of fabric and pattern direction, if confusion may occur
* Contrast fabric/trim exact placement and sizing

* if using the fabric(s) mentioned with another BQ order.

Fabric pattern match : Please notify BQ if you have fabric pattern match requirement. Additional fabric may be required. If multiple blinds are installed in the same room, BQ will pattern match print fabric from base of blind as standard and the pattern will be centred and horizontally aligned on each blind.

Fabric pattern flow : Please notify BQ if you have fabric pattern flow requirement where print fabric is used on adjoining/butting blinds. Additional fabric may be required.

How Measure Width:

• Pin to Pin : The finished width of blind from bracket to bracket, including roller. For face fix blinds provide your architrave to architrave width.For blinds installed in recess, provide recess width and select Recessed – YES and we will make adjustments for perfect blind fit in recess.
• Cloth to Cloth : The finished width of the blind fabric only.
  

Mounting:
The following options are available for securing your bedhead:

• Bedhead can sit on the floor between the bed and wall with no attachment to bed or wall.
• All BQ bedheads are supplied with a wall mounting bracket to enable the bedhead to be attached to the wall, providing greater stability. Walls must be strong enough to hold 15-50kg of bedhead.
• Adjustable bedhead legs can be supplied by BQ, at an additional cost, providing stability and avoiding the need to secure bedhead to the wall. Consider adding a base cut out (no charge) if bedhead is to sit on the floor.

The Square Panel Insert style bedhead sits flushed to the wall if wall mounted above skirting boards or bedhead sits on floor and a skirting board cutout is requested.

Railroaded Fabric : Railroaded fabric is suitable for wide width fabrics and standard width fabrics where blind drop is 1100mm or less.

Recessed: Please specify if blind will be installed in a window recess. BQ will make adjustments to  your measurements to ensure perfect fit.

Roll:

Normal roll: Fabric falls to back of roller (BQ standard).

Reverse roll: Fabric falls to front of roller, covering roller tube.

Window Name: Please provide location of window to assist with queries, package labeling and installation.

Bonded Pelmet

An unpadded pelmet, available in a straight, shape 1 and 3 only.
Made with 4.5mm piping along top and base edge of pelmet, in self or contrast fabric. Piping can be omitted on request.
Fabric is bonded to a strong wood custom made pelmet frame.
Combine with curtains, roman blinds or roller blinds.

• Suitable fabrics:
  Most medium and heavy weight solid fabrics are suitable for pelmets, although linen and viscose blends may stretch over time. Light weight fabrics such as silks and sheers can be used but cotton interlining is recommended and can be supplied by BQ.
  Fabrics can be railroaded on request to avoid joins or consider wide width fabrics to minimise amount of fabric required. If using a patterned fabric, railroading may not be suitable. BQ will expertly pattern match at fabric joins.

• Sizing:
  Provide width, drop and return measurements for either inside box measurements (IBM) or outside box measurements (OBM). Cut-outs can be added to ensure pelmet fits perfectly. Maximum drop is 40cm and maximum size of returns is 20cm. For pelmets over 390cm customer must organise own freight or collection from BQ’s Melbourne workroom. Alternatively, pelmets can be made in two or three pieces. We recommend three pieces to avoid a centre join and interruption to any fabric pattern.
