Abstract
In a method for making a window covering the user selects a first segment of cellular material in which there is a top cell having a top surface, at least one glue line on the top surface and a strip of fabric on the at least one glue line. The strip of fabric and at least a portion of the glue line are removed from the top surface of the top cell and a second glue line is applied to that top surface. A second segment of cellular material is place over the second glue line on the top surface of the top cell of the first segment. The glue line cures and bonds the second segment of cellular material to the first segment of cellular material. If the cellular material has tabbed cells the processes can be used to join the tabs of the two segments together.

A method for making a window covering from segments of cellular material containing a plurality of cells comprising:
- selecting a first segment of cellular material in which there is a top cell having a top surface, at least one glue line on the top surface and a strip of fabric on the at least one glue line;
- removing the strip of fabric and at least a portion of the at least one glue line from the top surface of the top cell;
- applying at least one second glue line to the top surface of the top cell;
- selecting a second segment of cellular material;
- placing the second segment of cellular material over the at least one second glue line on the top surface of the top cell:
- allowing the at least one second glue line to cure thereby bonding the second segment of cellular material to the first segment of cellular material.
A method for making a window covering from a segment of cellular material containing a plurality of cells comprising:
- selecting a segment of cellular material having a known width;
- cutting the segment of cellular material having a known width into at least two smaller segments of cellular material, each smaller segment having a selected width smaller than the known width, a first one of the smaller segments having a top cell having a top surface, at least one glue line on the top surface and a strip of fabric on the at least one glue line;
- removing the strip of fabric and at least a portion of the at least one glue line from the top surface of the top cell;
- applying at least one second glue line to the top surface of the top cell;
- selecting a second one of the smaller segments of cellular material;
- placing the second one of the smaller segments of cellular material over the at least one second glue line on the top surface of the top cell:
- allowing the at least one second glue line to cure thereby bonding the second one of the smaller segments of cellular material to the first one of the smaller segments of cellular material.
