Questions from sewists.

What’s the minimum cut?

We cut from ⅛ yard on most fabrics. For tulle and chiffon the minimum is ½ yard.

Do you send swatches?

Yes: for $4.99 we’ll send up to 6 swatches of 4 × 4″, and that amount comes off your purchase.

How do I pay for a WhatsApp order?

We send you the total with shipping and you pay via Zelle or a card payment link. We ship the same business day.

Do the fabrics shrink?

Linen and cotton can shrink 3 to 5%. We recommend washing before cutting; our calculator already adds that margin.
