Before you get started on a fabric project there are many things to consider; the colors, patterns, weights and textures of fabric are all important factors that will help you determine the fabric you need. Equally important is the yardage amount needed for your project. If you don't buy enough fabric your project will grind to a halt, if you buy too much then you must figure out how to use the leftover fabric. Either way you will have incurred frustrating and ultimately unnecessary expenses.
Why unnecessary? Because at J&O's online fabric store we now have fabric yardage charts. These charts are intended to help you avoid some of the pitfalls of working with fabric, particularly those of buying too many or too few yards.
The fabric yardage charts we carry on our web site cover five different types of fabric projects: bedding, drapery, dress, quilting and upholstering. These guides don't treat every possible fabric project within each of the aforementioned areas, just the most common. The charts are not definitive nor do they factor in every variable which may arise, so they do not eliminate the need for you to take proper measurements before you begin.
If you still have questions, do not hesitate to email them to us at info@jandofabrics.com. Some members of our staff have over 40 years experience in the retail fabric industry and can share their knowledge with you if the yardage charts do not satisfactorily answer your questions.
Minimize the surprises and the expense with the fabric yardage charts at J&O Fabrics' online fabric store.
Following are some examples of what our fabric charts will look like:
The charts also include measuring tips so that when it comes time for you to purchase fabric, you will know how many yards you need.
At J&O we are always striving to enhance the shopping experience of our customers. The fabric yardage charts are just the beginning of the many improvements we have implemented throughout our online fabric store. Come along for the ride as we change the way you shop for fabric.
