Buying Fabric on the Internet.



Buying Fabric on the Internet.
When looking for fabric on the net remember a few things. First those sites are not up dated . The prices you see could be years old. Those sites don't have someone checking stock and updating prices. They can't afford to do that. Second unless you have actually seen and felt the fabric you may end up with something else than what you saw on your monitor . Third those sites don't have a where house full of fabric bolts. They buy from the same vendors that you designer or upholster buys from.
So if you upholster says they are out of stock and the web site claims to have stock , they don't.
And lastly remember on line vendors don't do the work they don't know how fabrics will wear and they don't have the expert advice and fabrics and years of experience doing upholstery . Buy local

What are some tips for success when buying a couch online?
I would recommend trying the sofa out in person before buying if you can. If you are buying a new sofa online, which to be honest is by far the easiest option these days, then just check the returns policy first.”

When you get to the store, conduct these simple tests: To test the strength of the frame, lift one corner of the sofa off the ground (the nearest corner should lift along with it). If it doesn't walk away. Then, then sit on the front edge and listen for creaking noises (this indicates the springs are poorly installed). Ask questions , is the frame made of ? What type of foam and fill do they use 
in the cushions ?Lastly, sit on the sofa and lean back to test the comfort and durability of the cushions, and make sure the dimensions work with your body.
