243 F abric C haracteristics 24 The appeal of this fabric comes from the slubby weave of thick, natural cotton fibers. As a part of this natural construction, there can be show-through of the white threads that make up the warps. This is not considered a flaw and is actually a natural and desirable characteristic of these popular fabrics. 25 Due to the tight weave of this fabric, a minimal amount of puckering will occur with most seams. The yarns of this fabric are oriented in very tight layers that cannot shift easily to compensate for the thread as it is inserted in the seam. This causes these tight yarns in the fabric to draw up giving a rippled appearance along the seam line. This is usually more of a problem when seams are sewn in the warp direction than in the weft (filling) or bias directions. 26 This is a Random cover. To match this cover, please contact Special Applications. 27 Color Contrast Between Warp & Fill Yarns - Styles without welt will show the light or dark base yarn in the seam. This will depend on which color yarn is on the face, and which color yarn is on the back. This is a characteristic of this type of fabric and not a flaw. 28 Welts cut on bias if contrasting welt only. 29 Welts always cut on bias. 30 A contrast welt is recommended with this cover. 31 This unique fabric is restricted to use on certain ottoman styles, accent chairs and throw pillows. Because it has been designed with these limited applications in mind, it is not covered by the normal fabric warranty. 32 This fabric is unique in its construction due its delicate raised embroidery. It is recommended that use of this fabric be for decorative purposes only because of the possibility of yarns that could unravel or get snagged. Because it has been designed with limited applications in mind, it is not covered by the normal fabric warranty. 33 Printed fabrics on natural fibers can show small light areas of base cloth color due to normal detachment of fibers & loose slubs. Thus should not be considered a flaw and is actually a natural characteristic of this type of fabrics. 34 Due to construction/weave of this fabric, back pillows and seat cushions must be cut and sewn with breather panels on bottom to allow air to escape. With added breather panels, the back pillows and seat cushions will not be able to be flipped. Fabrics with Welts Cut on Bias With some fabrics, welts are always cut on the bias (diagonal) or for contrasting welts only. Fabric characteristic codes 28 and 29 (above), found on the bottom corner of the swatch label, identifies those fabrics. If the style is not listed here or the fabric does not have characteristic codes 28 or 29, you can still order the welts (in a random fabric) to be cut on the bias. See Options price list for the additional charge. Styles with Welts Cut on Bias Certain styles need the welts to be cut on the bias (diagonal) when applying a striped fabric.
