Swatch Policy--

We know that sometimes you need to see the exact color of a fabic, or feel it to know if it will work. Swatches are the fabric stores answer to that problem. Swatches are small pieces (normally around 1" x 2") that we can provide. On large prints, you will only get a portion of the total design, but when you combine that with the pictures and info on our website you should have a pretty complete picture. We can send you up to 5 swatches at no cost. If you are interested, use our handy swatch request form.

Other useful information

  • Sewing on knits-
    Always use a ball point needle. Make sure that the size you are using is appropriate for the weight and number of layers you are sewing through.
  • If you are putting in eyelets, closures, zippers, or have areas that need extra support consider using a layer of twill tape or grosgrain ribbon. This will act as support, reduce the possibility of the stitches tearing out.
  • Most of the newer fancy machines have specific stitches designed for stretch fabrics. If your machine doesn't have that option, you can use a very narrow zig zag stitch to provide a bit of give.
  • If you have a fabric or sewing question send us an email, and we'll be happy to help.

    If you are interested in seeing a swatch before you purchase this fabric please use our handy swatch request form to request up to 5 different swatches at no cost.
