Rather than drilling the hole larger, remove 1 or 2 strands at a time until the cord is of appropriate diameter. This could only be done to the degree that the covering will reduce by stretching. There are different diameter cords also. Has anyone investigated if this cord is available at a hardware store or window covering purveyor?
