Fabric Buying Guide – FAQs for DIY Upholsterers
New to upholstery fabrics? Here are answers to some of the most common questions customers ask when choosing fabric:
How wide is upholstery fabric?
Most upholstery fabrics are between 137cm and 150cm wide, making them suitable for sofas, chairs, cushions, and curtains.
What is a Martindale rating?
This measures fabric durability. A higher rating means the fabric is more resistant to wear – perfect for busy households or heavy-use furniture.
What is a fabric pattern repeat?
Patterned fabrics (stripes, florals, geometrics) repeat at set intervals. When upholstering, seams must match, so larger repeats require more fabric.
What does railroaded fabric mean?
Railroading describes the direction a pattern runs. With railroaded fabric, the pattern runs across the roll, making it easier to cover wide pieces (like sofas) without seams interrupting the design.
