I inspect every piece of fabric before it is shipped to you. I will not ship ANY piece of fabric with a major flaw. If your order can not be filled without including a flaw, I will communicate with you and see if there is any way to accommodate your needs. Nearly all of my Fabric is 1st quality. 1st quality fabric will have no more than five minor flaws per fifty yards. A minor flaw can be a slub, a pull, a missed-stitch. A minor flaw will be something that won't interfere with your use of the material. When you purchase a fabric from me, I cut the quantity you require from a bolt of fabric. As is the industry standard, returns are not accepted on cut goods. However I offer FREE samples of every fabric. If you want to make sure that the fabric you see on the website is right for your application, PLEASE ORDER A FREE SAMPLE. If the fabric is defective I will fully refund the purchase price. Some Fabrics might have selvage damage. This will be carefully described whenever that is the case. I may accept returns of cut yardage orders over 25 yards. Returns of this type must be authorized and a store credit of the purchase price of the fabric will be issued. If you have any questions about this policy, please ask before you order.
