Sample swatch availability changes frequently and samples often become out of stock once a fabric has been slated to be eventually discontinued by the manufacturer. Most Sunbrella samples are stocked in house and are provided either free or for a nominal charge. Decor fabric samples are placed on your behalf, direct with the fabric mill. In the event that a paid-for sample cannot be fulfilled, we will refund you the amount that you paid in the form of store credit to be used on future orders. If a fabric sample is out of stock or discontinued, we are happy to research and provide you with suitable alternative choices.

All our measurements including width, height, depth, and thickness are taken from seam to seam. We do not include the welt or piping in our measurements. As well as the increase in the size due to the addition of Dacron.

This needs to be considered when placing orders and providing measurements.

Our Obligations:

Therefore we will fabricate, sew or repair your product within the following tolerances:

Glossary of Terms

• *Fabric Repeat – refers to stripes, patterns or plaids and is the measurement between each element. Choose a point in your fabric and measure from that point until you reach that same point again. The distance between those two points is the repeat.
• Horizontal Repeat - runs across the roll, railroaded
• Vertical Repeat – runs down the roll

How repeats effect your estimated yardage – the fabric needed is calculated in multiples of your fabric's repeat. If you have a repeat of 15 inches and your cushion is 30 inches, you would need a minimum of 3 repeats as we would need a minimum of 31 inches to sew the project together.
