Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. X Auto Fabric 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, X Auto Fabric will make every effort to avoid sending a flaw with fabric cuts under five yards. If longer cuts are required, we recommend 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 the manufacturer.

Fabric is sold by the linear (running) yard, which is 36 inches long. For example, if a fabric is 60 inches wide and you order 1 yard, you will receive a piece of fabric that is 60 inches wide by 36 inches long.

We have made every effort to display the colors and textures of our products as accurately as possible. However, we cannot guarantee 100% accuracy due to color inconsistencies in computer monitors.

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 “Contact us” button. Sample books are also available for some fabric brands.
