Fabric Warning Guidelines

March 3, 2022

All fabrics are not created equal. Use these guidelines when selecting fabric for your draperies.

Fabric Cutting

Do not cut until you have checked the following.

  • Correct pattern and color
  • Correct shade
  • Correct quantity
  • Weaves and bias
  • Flaws
  • Correctly identified face

Blackout Lining on Shades

  • Rings and/or shrouds are sewn on individually and will allow minimal light through the ring stitching.
  • Blackout lining by contrast will accentuate the light seepage. An option when specified is to fill the holes on the blackout lining.

Silk and Linen

  • Please allow for some variance. Silk and linen yards are made by nature and the unique qualities created in this process are not considered flaws.
  • No guarantees are made regarding color fastness, exact color matching, or durability.

Embroidery and Crewel

  • Embroideries are often handmade or hand guided. Therefore, the repeat size may vary.
  • Often embroidery designs do not match selvedge to selvedge.

Washed

  • Please allow for some variance due to the washing process and repeat size. Widths may vary slightly.

Taffeta and Chintz

  • Taffeta and chintz fabrics may hold creases due to the crisp hand.

Scrim

  • Handle with care. This is a very delicate fabric.

If more information is needed in regards to the fabric type, please contact your vendor.
