Design Notes
It is generally preferred that the GRAIN of the fabric on framed pieces runs LANDSCAPE (horizontally). This is in keeping with the GRAIN as it appears on draperies and on wall coverings. The GRAIN, as referred to here, runs from edge to edge across the width as indicated on the sketch. Bear in mind that many fabrics have no distinct GRAIN to speak of, and that in such cases this instruction does apply. (Click the illustration to the right)
Example:
Assuming the fabric you have selected has a distinct GRAIN, we suggest that you order per this example:
- The piece to be covered has outside dimensions of 24″ x 36″. If the piece is PORTRAIT (GRAIN running along the short side of the board), you will need to order 1 full yard. If the piece is LANDSCAPE (GRAIN running along the long side of the board), you will need only 2/3 of a yard.
- When ordering, please remember to specify both PATTERN name and COLOR name. Always verify that the width of the fabric is adequate for your needs. Please note that there is NO MINIMUM ORDER REQUIREMENT. You may order fractions of a yard.
