Hi! Excellent video thanks🙏🏻 I have bought the same blinds. When I understand the manual correctly , it says, when cutting to size the blind, that to the width of the window called X another 50mm must ADDED to X before cutting the fabric. Looking at your video, you were measuring the whole setup (blind + mechanism) subtracting the difference to achieve X. Which was 65mm in your case. But you subtracted only 60mm. Why and is your method more precise than the IKEA manual? Yours makes actually more sense 😀 Thanks 🙏🏻

Hi Phil, do you have any instruction video for moving the handle to the left side? (or a breakdown of steps)

You’re taking 6 cm off the cloth and 6,5 of the steel?

Had the same question because I thought I would be cutting too close to the fabric. I cut off the same measurement as the fabric, but I should have followed Phil's instructions as a bit too much steel is exposed. Had to widen my brackets a bit - not a big deal, but it proves he knows what he is doing! lol

I guess since minus 65mm are the exact measurements to fit the window, the fabric cut with only 60mm would be 2,5mm wider on each side which should be still ok... Interesting enough he completely ignores the IKEA manual (measured width X +50mm when cutting the fabric) but I guess if you do the math the results are the same 🤷🏻‍♂️
