Fabric Yardage is important in the production of your piece since underage can cause delays in shipment.  This is why at Bella Interiors we prefer to guide and help you with the process.  With the many different options available today estimating the correct amount can be daunting. When talking with our Designers a few basic terms need to be understood:

1.     Bolt—
Refers to the Fabric and how it is sold. Most fabric is sold in continuous runs on a spool in 54” widths.   Fewer yards of fabric are required for larger widths.

2.  Pattern Repeat—The larger the size of a pattern is the more fabric is required.  Most fabrics will list it’s pattern repeat in inches, however if this is not available find the start of a pattern and when it begins again and measure in inches.  Plaid Fabrics will generally increase total yardage by 30%.

3.  Non-Railroaded Fabric—Generally fabric patterns are woven or printed vertically along the bolt. The use of this type of fabric on a large piece of furniture requires   seams (usually 2 in a non-cushion back).  Two or Three cushion back sofas or loveseats usually don’t require this seam, but will require generally 30% more fabric.

4. Railroaded Fabric—A fabric is “railroaded” when it is woven or printed horizontally.

When fabric runs across the furniture horizontally it eliminates any seams creating a more professional look on non-cushion back sofas or loveseats:

Please be advised that ‘plain fabric’ is railroaded.  If you need further assistance with any of the terms here please feel free to contact our Product Specialists.
