| What is the weight of your fabrics? |
Everything is 'blouse weight' unless noted. About 4 oz. per yard.
|
| What is the fiber content of the fabrics you carry? |
Almost all of our fabrics are 100% cotton; the remaining fabrics are either silk or a cotton/linen mix and are noted on the webpage they are on. Unless noted on the product description all our fabrics are 100% cotton.
|
| What is the width of our fabrics? |
The standard width of our fabrics is 44/45"; any exceptions are noted in the product description.
|
| Do you ship to me? |
We ship to the US, Canada and Internationally every day. We use the USPS for most of our shipping but can use UPS or Fedex as needed. Shipping options and rates will show up in the cart when you are checking out on the website. Contact us with any questions – we are here to help! Staff@reproductionfabrics.com
|
| Do you have a catalog? |
We have a brochure that lists some of our products but our inventory changes quickly depending on the interest for the fabrics and availability to order more. Our website “catalog” is the best place to see our fabrics. Being online, we can quickly change our catalog as new fabrics arrive -- they can be "beamed" up the day they come in the door! The website will always show the available inventory we have.
|
| You use the abbreviation 'c', what does it mean? |
"c." is the abbreviation for circa - meaning about or an approximation of the year.
|
| How do you time date your fabrics? How do you know which time period they represent? |
We spend an enormous amount of time researching fabrics used in quilts and garments. This includes extensive library research on textiles, print and dye technology development, visiting museums all over the US, and viewing private and public textile collections. We also own a collection of vintage fabrics (vintage = actual fabric from the past). Margo is currently doing research in economic history with emphasis on the cotton textile industry.
Knowing all this, we shop the fabric markets and select fabrics that we think were typical of certain time periods.
|
| Do you give out customer information to anyone? |
No. We respect your privacy & do not give our customer information to anyone.
|
| Can I get fabric samples? |
Yes! There are several options. You can:
- Purchase sample sets of specific fabric collections.

The last letter character in the stock number indicates the dominant color (sometimes background, sometimes foreground). Example: PN13G => G for green.
