Yes. Sailrite is committed to bringing you only first quality fabrics. However, even first quality fabrics will have a few flaws. For example, most mills permit up to six flaws per roll on their first quality fabric (roughly one flaw for every 10 yards of fabric).

In light of this policy, Sailrite will make every effort to avoid sending a flaw with fabric cuts under five yards. If longer cuts are required, Sailrite recommends ordering additional fabric to compensate for the occasional flaw. Manufacturer flaw tags can be found on the edge of the fabric so the flaws can be avoided or inconspicuously placed when patterning your projects.

We always try our best to send fabric in one continuous piece. If you order more yardage than what is on a factory roll, you will receive one factory roll plus the remaining fabric needed. If for any other reason we cannot ship your order in one piece, we will contact you before shipping your order. To see how many yards are in a factory roll of a given fabric, look under the Specifications for “Yards Per Roll.” Actual “yards per roll” may vary up to 10 yards depending on manufacturer.

Larger fabric orders will be rolled for shipment. Smaller yardage orders will be folded to save on shipping. If multiple fabrics are ordered, they may be rolled together on a common roll.

Most samples are either 6" x 6" or 3" x 12". Samples of striped fabrics are approximately 3" x 12" while patterned and solid fabrics are approximately 6" x 6". Samples may not show all of the colors or the full pattern in a fabric. To see full colors and pattern repeats, we suggest ordering a yard of fabric.

You can order samples of most fabrics by going to the product page for the fabric of interest and clicking on the “Order Sample” button. Sample books are also available for some fabric brands.

No. We sell all Sailrite machines directly. This helps keep prices down and also allows us to maintain direct contact with customers who purchase a sewing machine.
