Continuous Cuts

Whenever possible, multiple quantities of the same fabric will be cut as one continuous piece.

Because many of our fabrics are sourced from curated, out-of-print, and hard-to-find collections, some prints are only available in smaller cuts.

If you need a continuous cut for your project, please contact us before placing your order and we’ll be happy to confirm availability.
