Using a wand to open and close your sheers is a very good idea. I spec them for all sheers not on a pulley system. More than keeping dirty hands away, the wand helps kepps the shape of the leading edge. Daily yanking and pulling can stretch most sheers with their comparitively looser waeve. Attach the wand to the lead ring, never to the fabric.

Oh darn, Chroma, there are no rings. Just the fabric on the rod.

So these are rod pocket sheers. Those can be fussy to move as they have the most friction and can bunch when openning. The weight of a wand attached on a sheer will pull and potentially tear. Try stiching an anchor piece to the backside of the sheer at the inside edge. Think creatively as to what may work. I'm brainstorming but try a piece of laminated cardboard with a hole punched in it to receive the wand clip.

Thanks Chroma. Thats a great idea and gives me something to start with.
