Questions

How wide is the fabric?

About 115cm, or 45 inches.

Will my yards come in one piece?

Always. We never join pieces.

Do prints vary between batches?

Slightly. For aso ebi, buy all pieces in one order so they come from one batch.

Can I return cut fabric?

Cut fabric cannot be returned unless it is faulty. Order a swatch box first.
