Shop at a Fabric Store

1. Tips to Shop at a Fabric Store: The fabric shopping is one of the most daunting tasks particularly if you have not prepared your mind for it. Whether you are going to sew the window treatments, beddings or slipcovers, it is only fabric store which can help you in devising the decorating plan. However, you must be sure that you have thoroughly browsed the store at the first instance in order to gain the quality and variety sense which is available at the store. When you are completely ready to buy from the fabric store, here are some shopping tips for the purchase of the right fabric material: Discount stores or the wholesale retailers offer much better price on bulk: if you are actually buying the bulk of fabric for one project from the fabric store then first think you should ask from the retailer is the price per yard. After asking, ask him again that how much he would cost if you are willing to buy 15 yards? This is how he will definitely give you at good price. When you are buying a fabric material more than the yard then ask retailer to unroll whole fabric so you can easily see the flaws. If you are paying the special price for a particular fabric, then it is your right to roll out the bolt and measure it to ensure that you are not being deceived. Test the quality of fabric. Pick up the fabric from the end and pull it from where it was cut previously and then find out whether it unravels smoothly. If it does, then it’s better to leave it there. Create the color notebook with the room elements and bring it to the fabric shop. Add the fabrics swatches and trims that are present within the room, furniture picture, paint swatches and the room photos that you like to decorate. Record all the dimensions of beds, windows and other furniture in notebook. This will help you and salesman in visualization of all things quickly at time of purchase.
