The fabric is cut an extra half each wider the whole way around and then tiny magnets are sewn into the extra fabric at key intervals around the shade. They stick onto the window frames perfectly!

This is the kind I used: https://amzn.to/2QcsXwy <br /><br />It's probably a bit cheaper at a store like Hobby Lobby or Joann Fabric (especially if you can wait for a sale!), but this will at least let you see the packaging to make sure you get the right one! You just need to make sure it says "double fold bias tape" to get the right type, and "quilt binding" to make sure it's the right size. Good luck!Georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16098769340141865316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322864304061375013.post-59754970400762870552021-02-18T17:06:37.705-05:002021-02-18T17:06:37.705-05:00Thank you so much for this tutorial!

Let me know how it goes!Georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16098769340141865316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322864304061375013.post-78475740335706582662020-08-16T21:27:37.846-04:002020-08-16T21:27:37.846-04:00Thank you! :)Thank you! :)Georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16098769340141865316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322864304061375013.post-68352338503940377922020-07-30T00:39:25.046-04:002020-07-30T00:39:25.046-04:00I've been having trouble getting my sewing mac...I've been having trouble getting my sewing machine to stitch properly around the fabric and the reflectix. I have played with the stitch length and tension settings but still without luck. Do you have any recommendations?Diane Sandstrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06834462059689005721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322864304061375013.post-60003728051354029462020-07-16T09:45:18.245-04:002020-07-16T09:45:18.245-04:00Thank you for the detailed instructions.
