Can I use the Warm Window Products with pieced Roman shades?
Several students have taken my classes to make an artistic front for a Warm Window shade. There are a few things you should keep in mind. First, no light comes through a Warm Window, so you loose the stained-glass effect. You must decide which is more important: the artistic look or the added insulation offered by Warm Windows. Second, the Warm Windows lining comes pre-folded in 4″ sections. This means that your Window Hanging design will need to be laid out so that it folds in 4″ sections (or 8″ or 12″). This might mean using templates for your blocks. See the Layout Chapter of my book Pieced Roman Shades – Make Your Favorite Quilt Patterns into Window Hangings for complete information on designing the front of a shade.
