Review on Thermal Insulated Tie Up Curtain Panel Valance | Stone Blue Balloon Blackout Shades Window Treatment | Adjustable And Elegant | 42" W X 63" L | H.Versailtex | 1 Panel by Tracey White

So I have a love dislike relationship with these things.They are easily the least expensive most functional curtains I've had for total blackout which is something I need. So I have these in four rooms of my house.But let's face it not many of us are going to get it to look the way it does in the picture when they're put up.Mine end up being kind of a disaster on the windows I bother to pull them up on.So I was standing there thinking oh if the bottom hem was just a little stiffer.Then I looked at my new package of tension curtain rods, made one the same size as the inside of the window and stuck it in the hem.Pics show the difference.Please understand I'm disabled and was quite tired by the time I finished this I'm sure you could get it neater. I plan to get some half inch wooden rods to cut to length, put them in and and stitch the ends so they won't slide out.You know maybe that sounds like a lot of work but these are so inexpensive it's worth it.The other thing I've done in the past is to cut the ties and stitch Velcro on the ends of where I would normally put them as I am not a country girl and dislike bows.All in all that kind of sounds like I shouldn't buy these right?But I just can't seem to quit them.Seriously they really do the job they could just use a few tweaks, unless you plan to tie them once and leave them.
