Fabric and soft furnishing supplies.

Choose the actual material and supply form. Each sheet identifies what to measure, which product data to collect and a purchase assumption to check.

How these quantities differ

MaterialSelected product dataOrdering mistake to avoid
Curtain fabricUsable roll width, pattern repeat and chosen direction.Finished window width does not equal the fabric cut width after supplied fullness and hems.
Box cushion fabricRoll width, seam allowances and permitted rotation or pattern repeat.Cushion surface area alone does not ensure full pattern panels fit the fabric width.
Envelope pillow fabricSupplied seam, hem and overlap allowances and usable roll width.The overlap makes the back fabric larger than a single back-face area.
Circular tablecloth fabricUsable roll width and complete blank length.A round finished cloth needs a full blank; dividing circle area by roll area misses that fit constraint.
Rectangular tablecloth fabricRoll width, usable length and permitted orientation.Tabletop area excludes both the drop and hem fabric in the cut blank.
Cushion zipper stockContinuous roll length and the chosen end allowance.Total zipper metres do not prove an individual complete run fits the roll.
Cushion piping cordCord roll length and explicitly supplied join or end allowance.A rounded rectangle has a shorter outline than the corresponding sharp-corner perimeter.
Seat pad foam blanksFoam sheet dimensions, supplied thickness and cutting gap.Trapezoid area may be smaller than the whole sheet rectangle needed to cut the pad.
Cushion foam blocksStock slab dimensions and the complete blank count.Total foam volume does not establish that every blank fits the purchased slab.
Patterned fabric rollsHorizontal and vertical repeat, usable width and orientation restrictions.Rotating a panel may fit geometrically while violating the selected pattern direction.
Straight-match wallpaperRoll width, length, repeat and selected cut allowance.Wall area does not determine usable full drops after pattern rounding.
Half-drop wallpaperRoll dimensions and supplied repeat offset.Successive drop starts can consume different roll lengths even when their finished heights match.
