ABSTRACT:
The invention provides vertical blinds that can be manufactured with fabric suitable for making clothing or drapery. The fabric is attached to a backing member through either by sewing the backing member in place or a heat process. If heating is used, the heat must not be excessive so that the fused fabrics are scorched. Once the backing member is attached to the fabric, the vertical blind is cut to the desired width and length. A weight is sewn or otherwise attached to a bottom portion of the vertical blind and a plastic insert is sewn or otherwise attached to a top portion of the vertical blind. The plastic insert is used to attach the vertical blind to a vertical blind support. Finally, a glue like substance, which prevents fraying of the fabric, is applied to the longitudinal edge portions of the vertical blind to ensure that fraying will not occur. This glue like substance can be applied with a brush, roller, or any other suitable dispenser that adequately applies the substance to the desired location of the fabric.
