Helpful answers
Common fabric yardage questions
What is COM fabric?
COM stands for Customer's Own Material. You choose and supply the fabric, and we make your custom window treatments or pillows according to the design you order.
How do I calculate yardage for custom drapes?
Choose Drapes and the header style, enter the quantity and finished dimensions, then add your fabric width and vertical repeat. Select Calculate Yardage for an estimated amount of fabric.
What does vertical pattern repeat mean?
It is the distance from a point in a pattern to where the same point appears again further down the fabric. You can usually find this number in the fabric specifications.
Does the estimate include the fabric I need to buy?
The calculator estimates how much fabric may be required. It does not sell fabric or include its cost. If you are using COM, you buy the fabric separately.
Can I use this for Roman shades, valances and pillows?
Yes. Choose the matching product and style from the calculator. The estimate will use the product details you enter.
Is the calculated yardage the final amount to order?
No. It is a planning estimate. Fabric type, pattern placement, usable width and fabrication details can affect final needs. Confirm yardage with our team before purchasing or sending fabric.
When should I send my fabric?
Place your COM order first. Once the project is confirmed, follow the shipping instructions provided for your order. Read about our COM process.
