Needle In A Haystack

We keep a good portion of the fabrics listed here in inventory, although not every single one. Please note - this is NOT a real-time inventory system and being able to add a fabric to your cart does not imply that we have it in stock. If you have dealine please make a note of that in the appropriate place or give us a call if you need us to check what we have in stock. We will notify you if a fabric needs to be ordered and give you an ETA.

General ordering time is as follows for the main fabric companies if we are out of stock. For all other fabric companies it's dependent on when we're ready to place an order.

Access, Wichelt & Zweigart - 2-3 weeks
Lakeside Linens - 1-4 months. Double-Dyes and custom cuts will be longer depending on the dyeing schedule.
Picture This Plus & Week's Dye Works - 2-3 months; we usually order once a quarter
Zweigart fabrics will generally be tagged with one of the following tags:

DISC - indicates that Zweigart Germany is no longer producing this color at the present time. Since the list changes several times a year we may still be able to obtain the fabric if we don't have it in stock. If none of the US suppliers have access to it - it's gone (and it may be tagged as DISC - Gone if we know that's the case).
Euro Color - indicates that at last check, the color was in the current production list for Zwegiart Germany.
FDP Color - indicates this is a color specific to the US distributor Fleur de Paris and should be in production for them or they are the last known supplier of it.

If you are willing to take a substitute, in type of fabric, color or count, indicate that in the Special Instructions. It can mean finding something in stock or that we can easily getting vs. waiting.

Shipping is based on weight and is only an estimate. It will not be entirely accurate because we have to average the weight for the results of the search. We will calculate the shipping when we package it. If you need a shipping total before we ship your order, please make a note of that in the Special Instructions.

Place a checkmark in the Serge/Tape Fabric box if you wish to have your fabric serged or your canvas taped before shipment. There is no charge for this service.

NOTICE: Fabric widths are generally accurate but vendors do sometimes change the widths. If you need a specific width please note your stitch count in the appropriate box below so we can ensure you get the correct cut of fabric. Please see our main Fabric page for details on how we cut fabric.

PRICE UPDATES: When we process your order the price may be higher than noted in the on-line catalog. Prices continue to rise when we order fabric, sometimes by quite a bit. We reserve the right to charge the new price. If that is not acceptable do please contact us to confirm a specific price and availability before ordering.

While we have photos of many of the fabrics we carry which you may use as a general reference, we do NOT recommend making a color choice based on the photos.
Dyelots change over time, sometimes by a substantial amount and photos are not updated with any regularity. Monitors also display color differently.
If you are trying to match a color, or need specific color(s), we suggest giving us a reference like DMC or Anchor for us to match to or send us a sample.
Then we can see what we have in current dyelots that might work for you.
