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.
BoltRefers 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
RepeatThe 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
FabricGenerally 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 FabricA 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.
