The new checked fabrics are listed! There are twenty nine checked fabrics listed.
We have decided to broaden the range of fabrics we have available. People have been asking for companion fabrics to the novelty fabrics we carry. But, most of the novelties do not have companions. They are stand alone designs.
We are working with a company that carries a tremendous number of different stripes, checks, plaids, dots, and solids. These will be available as special order as it is impossible to carry the number of fabrics that we wish to offer. To that end, we have fabric cut into samples for people to buy, to see if the fabric actually works for their purpose. Once the sample has been seen, the fabric can be ordered online. The turn around time from when the order is placed to the fabric coming in to be inspected is about a week.
We are really excited about this. When, finished, there should be several hundred fabrics available, providing an amazing inter-active assortment for people to work with.
This is a huge undertaking as each fabric has to be photographed. And, as stripes and checks of one or two colors tend to pixelate, it is a long and time consuming process.
We started with a group of twenty nine checks.
