Fabric details
Swatches
We are happy to send up to 6 small swatches of our medium weight home decorating fabrics free of charge to Australian customers. This applies to all medium weight fabrics except remnants and those that are precut and sold by the piece. Our light weight fashion and novelty fabrics come and go very quickly so we are not able to send swatches of these.
To request swatches, complete this Swatch request form.
Lengths
We sell fabric by the whole or part metre in .25 metre increments. Simply type .25, .5, .75, 1, 1.25 etc in the ‘Quantity’ field. The exception to this is if we have specified that it is sold by the piece.
Minimum cut
The minimum quantity you can purchase of an individual fabric is .25 metre.
Minimum order
We have an overall order minimum of AUD$10.00.
Ordering .25 metre (Fat Quarters)
If you order .25 metre, it will be cut as a fat quarter (ie a square piece 50cm x half the width of the fabric). The exception to this is if the fabric width is less than 1m wide (eg some of the hand printed Australian designs). Note: If this does not suit your project and you would prefer .25m cut straight from the bolt, simply request this in the 'Comments' field on the Checkout page.
Price
The price listed for most fabrics is for one metre (except those where it is specified as being sold by the piece). The cost is calculated based on the quantity you type (eg .5, 1, 1.5) and displayed in your shopping cart.
Fabric Weight
We have classified the fabric as either light weight or medium weight. The light weight fabric is standard quilting weight, while the medium weight is curtain weight or medium weight canvas.
Fabric Width
Fabrics range from 70cm to 152cm wide. The width is noted in the fabric description. Remember to consider this when selecting fabric, as our most expensive fabrics are generally the widest.
Colours
The fabrics displayed on our site have been scanned or photographed. We do not alter the colours in any way, however, they may display slightly differently from one computer screen to another.
