Ofte stillede spørgsmål

Why buy extra fabric beyond pattern requirements?

Accounts for shrinkage (5-10%), cutting mistakes, and pattern layout variations.

Do all fabrics have the same layout requirements?

No; directional prints, naps, and large patterns require additional length for proper alignment.
