Will I be charged for a Preorder?

Yes.

A preorder is a commitment to purchase yardage or products before they physically arrive in our office. It is also a commitment from us to package and ship the preordered items once the item arrives in our office. The yardage or items that you preorder are not available to anyone else.

 
Fabric Swatches

There are times when touching, feeling, and matching fabric are required prior to ordering significant yardage. Our free swatch program is our solution. 

We mail fabric swatches at no charge to US mailing addresses.  Mailing free swatches to international addresses is cost prohibitive. Instead we will work with you through photographs, zoom sessions, and FaceTime sessions to help with fabric selection. We know this does not help you "feel" the fabric, but it will help with color selection.  

Here is a link to our Fabric Swatch Collection. Request a swatch pack which includes one of each fabric substrate - or specific fabrics by collection.
