Answers to common questions about buying fabric from Fabric Giant.
Ordering & cutting
How is fabric sold?
Most fabric is sold by the metre, in half-metre steps from a minimum of 0.5m. Enter the length you need in the quantity box on the product page, for example 2.5 for two and a half metres. Items like haberdashery, yarn and fat quarters are sold per item.
If I order several metres, will it come in one piece?
Fabric is cut to the length you order from the roll. If you need your length in a single continuous piece for a project, please contact us before ordering and we'll check the roll for you.
How do I know the width of a fabric?
The width, along with composition and weight where we have them, is listed in the description on each product page. Most dressmaking fabrics are around 110–150cm wide, but it varies, so always check before working out how much you need.
Do you sell fabric samples or swatches?
We don't sell swatches online at the moment. If you're unsure about a colour or feel, contact us and our team will describe the fabric in more detail or advise on alternatives.
