How to alter PVC Vertical blinds?

What would be the best way to alter the length of PVC vertical blinds? Obviously, I want the straightest, neatest cut possible.

Thanks

They usually have weights fitted to the bottom and a slide in mechanism at the top which is designed to be adjustable. Very fiddly and you need to make sure you do them all the same length.

Are they stitched or glued / heat sealed at the bottom. If stitched then just cut them off at the bottom to the correct length + 70mm, refold and machine stitch. Done loads of fabric ones but no pvc I'm afraid. If they have the slide adjustable tops then just undo and re fix at the correct length.

Hi I know this is an oldish thread but we are trying to shorten some vertical blinds - can you glue them at all and if so what do you use? Thanks Mallard
