Two fabrics look the same but are described a little different, are they the same?
If the fabrics are the same in the picture then they are the same fabric. Each fabric is listed on our web site individually. One highly experienced person, Liz, writes the description for every fabric we have. We add hundreds of new fabrics each week and may get duplicate fabrics weeks apart. Sometimes the description of colors and patterns are a little different. We do the best to describe each fabric accurately and use the highest quality images available. Dye lots can vary especially in printed fabrics. If two or more pieces of the same pattern and color are purchased at the same time we will compare the fabrics before shipping to make sure the fabrics are a match. We will contact you before shipping if there is a problem.

What’s the difference between “by the yard” fabric and remnants?
Remnants are “leftover” pieces from larger, by the yard, bolts of fabric. Whenever we have only a small amount of fabric left on a “by the yard” bolt, we convert it to a remnant and sell the whole yardage as one piece. By the yard is great for larger projects or specific yardage requirements, but remnants are perfect for smaller projects or just when you need a little fabric to sew with.

Can I use drapery fabric in an upholstery project? Vice versa?
Drapery fabric is traditionally less resilient than upholstery fabric, so while it’s certainly possible to use it for upholstery applications, it isn’t recommended for high traffic areas, it’s better for decorative or throw pillows. Upholstery fabric can certainly be used as drapes, though upholstery fabrics tend to be a bit stiffer than drapery.

Do you carry apparel fabric?
While some materials in upholstery and drapery fabrics can be used as apparel fabric, we do not sell apparel-specific fabrics or materials.

Some of the fabrics in The Fabric Cellar are flawed, what do the flaws mean?
Occasionally we get fabric seconds or otherwise flawed pieces of material, but that doesn’t mean they’re useless! We carefully inspect every piece that comes through our doors, and obsessively note every flaw. We also take an individual picture of each flawed piece, just to make it easier for our customers to make an informed purchase decision. You might find that some flaws won’t affect your project as much as others, shop smart!

Once I place an order, can I edit or cancel my order?
Once an order is marked as “Completed”, an order cannot be edited or cancelled. We generally complete the processing of orders the same business day, so if you need to make a change to your order before is has been completed, please call us immediately. If you place an order after hours, you may Cancel it online so long as it is before we complete it the next business day.

How is your fabric rolled onto the tube?
All rolled fabric is rolled with the face of the fabric on the inside. This is to ensure that if any damage is done to the packaging in shipping, the fabric will still remain clean on the front side. When you receive a roll, make sure to check both sides of the fabric before making any judgments.

Do I have to pay sales tax?
It is your responsibility to comply with the reporting and filing requirements within your state, regardless of whether we collect sales tax in that state.
