I think you can buy a kit for repairing them. I was looking for a shade for my skylight and saw the kit at the www.hunterdouglas.com web site or you can check Lowes website. Good luck.

Is there a way to "fix" a roll up shade? Have one that always unrolls to floor,other wise in good condition. Thanks for any advise

There's a product you can buy at the fabric shops which is a wide fusible specifically for making roll-up shades. Just go in and ask. It's great for making matching shades and for other home dec projects which need large amounts of moderately stiff fusibles.

Teresa, I think I'm going to be your new best friend (tee hee). Here is a video and the page for instructions (printable) for exactly this project. Have fun. http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/pac_ctnt_9 ... ,00.html?art=Top%20Ten%20Link%20Nine:alicewindows (click on the "No-Sew Roller Shade" video. I'd like to try this myself.

What about good, old-fashioned rubber cement?
