If the shade is level and it still skews, operate the shade to the full down position. Prepare a strip of masking tape approximately 5 long. On the side of the shade opposite of the skewing direction, and as close to the end of the roller as possible, lift the fabric toward the back of the shade using your fingers and slide the tape with the sticky side facing the roller up as far as possible. The tape is to be running parallel to the roller. Roll the shade up and check for skewing. If the shade is still skewing, add another strip of tape on top of the first one. If the shade is now skewing in the opposite direction, tear off about 1 of tape from the last strip installed. The tape is to be torn from the end closest to the center of the shade.
