Understanding Purchasing Fabrics by the Meter

Welcome to Our Guide on Buying Fabrics by the Meter!

We’re excited to help you find the perfect fabric for your next project. To make your shopping experience smoother, here’s everything you need to know about purchasing fabric by the meter.

1. What Does “By the Meter” Mean?

When you see that our products are sold by the meter, it means the price listed is for one meter of fabric. For example, if you order 3 meters, you will receive a continuous piece of fabric that is 3 meters long.

• 1 meter = 100 centimeters (approx. 39.4 inches).
• The width of the fabric may vary depending on the type and design.

2. How to Measure and Order Correctly

• Check width: Each fabric has different useable widths so please make sure you read that information before hand.
• Measure Your Needs: Before purchasing, determine how many meters of fabric you’ll need for your project. Use a tape measure to gauge your required length.
• Order in Whole or Partial Meters: Our system does not allow you to purchase fabrics in fractional meters. For example, if you need 1.5 meters, then kindly order 2 meters.

3. Benefits of Buying by the Meter

• Perfect for Any Project: Whether you’re creating clothing, home décor, or crafts, buying by the meter gives you the flexibility to get just the right amount.

4. Fabric Quality and Inspection

Every meter of fabric we sell is carefully inspected for quality. We ensure that all materials are cut to your exact specifications and free from defects, so you can shop with confidence.

5. Common Questions About Buying by the Meter

Q: Can I order less than one meter?
A: Yes, you can order fabrics in fractional quantities, such as 0.5 or 1.5 meters.

Q: Will the fabric come in one continuous piece?
A: Yes, all fabric is cut continuously. For example, if you order 3 meters, you will receive a 3-meter-long piece of fabric, not multiple 1-meter pieces.

Q: Is the width of the fabric included in the meter measurement?
A: No, the meter measurement refers only to the length. The fabric width is typically fixed and mentioned on each product page.

6. Important Tips

• Double-check Measurements: Always double-check your measurements before finalizing your purchase to ensure you order enough fabric for your needs.
• Fabric Shrinkage: Some fabrics may shrink slightly after washing. Consider adding a little extra to your order to account for shrinkage, especially for natural fibers like cotton or linen. Please refer to the maintenance section to further learn about the care of the fabric. 

7. Returns and Exchanges

Please note that because our fabrics are cut to your specifications, returns or exchanges may be limited. Make sure to review our return policy for fabrics before purchasing.
