Upholstery Fabrics Are Not All Made the Same

If you have gone shopping for upholstery fabrics and asked yourself why are some fabrics $50 per yard and others $19.95 per yard? How can the outlet stores sell fabric for $19.95 and what looks like the same fabric sell for $39.95 at an upholstery shop? Well not all fabrics are made the same, many companies make different grades of fabrics in the same patterns. This companies make lower grade fabric just for the outlet market . The difference is the fiber content, the thread count and the weight of the fabric. What looks like the same fabric may be very different the $19.00 fabric well have a much lower thread count, just like bed sheets the higher the thread count the better the fabric will wear.Next I talk about content.
