Short answer: send one repeat or one full design, with the width you need and, for upholstery, the length in metres. Both are printed edge to edge in full colour; upholstery fabric is sold by the metre, in large and small widths, so the pattern has to run on in a continuous length.
What differs for upholstery fabric and wall tapestries
| Item | Range details | What to send |
|---|---|---|
| Edge-to-edge full-colour print | Send the design without a border or a white edge unless the border is part of the design | |
| Upholstery fabric | Sold by the metre; large and small widths | Write the width and the length in metres. A repeat must join at its top and bottom edges |
| Wall tapestries | Edge-to-edge full-colour print | Write the finished size in inches; keep key detail away from any hemmed edge |
| Continuity | Upholstery fabric is sold by the metre, so the pattern runs as one length | Send one repeat tile and say how it repeats, or one long design |
Fabric files
Fabric furnishings are confirmed by the factory product by product, so send the largest original you have and ask what is needed for your size. A printed swatch is the standard you approve, because colour on a screen differs from colour on fabric.
