What else will a 'cutting' tell me about the fabric?
There are several important details that you can get from ordering a cutting that is difficult to depict in an image of the fabric.
Some of the features of a particular fabric that are difficult to convey from a photograph are:
- it's thickness
- texture
- finish.
If the fabric has a pattern, it is often difficult to get an accurate idea of the pattern scale.
Ordering a cutting can put to rest many of these questions when shopping for fabric.
Ordering a cutting does add to the time it takes to purchase fabric. However, it is a small price to pay when considering the added assurance it provides you when purchasing fabrics.
