The most common reasons are an item selling out while it's in your cart, a typo in your billing address or ZIP code, an expired card, or a spending limit on your card (including limits some banks place on online purchases).

Yes. If you order 3 yards, you'll get one continuous 3-yard piece. If we can't cut it in one piece, we'll contact you for approval before shipping. Want it in separate pieces instead? Place separate orders for each length.

We don't offer swatches, but you can order as little as a fat quarter to see and feel a fabric in person. Keep in mind that many fabrics are limited and may not be available later, so if you love it, it's worth ordering what you need.

A fat quarter is an 18" x 21" piece of fabric, made by cutting a half yard in half the other way. It's wider than a regular quarter yard (9" x 42"), which makes it easier to cut bigger shapes and fussy-cut prints. Shop fat quarters and fat quarter bundles.

Precuts are coordinated bundles cut to standard sizes: charm packs are 5" squares, jelly rolls are 2½" strips, and layer cakes are 10" squares. They save cutting time and give you a whole fabric collection in one bundle. See our precut size guide.

It depends on your pattern, so always check its yardage chart. As a rough guide for backing, a throw quilt (about 60" x 70") needs about 4⅓ yards of standard-width fabric or 2 yards of 108" wide backing, and a queen quilt needs about 2¾ to 3 yards of 108" wide backing. See our full backing yardage chart, or contact us and we'll help you figure it out.

Wide backing is about 108" wide, so a single piece can cover the back of most quilts from throws to queens with no seams to sew. Browse our 108" wide quilt backing.

Most quilters use 100% quilting cotton, which is easy to cut, press and sew. Batiks add rich color and are great for appliqué, solids make clean backgrounds, and flannel makes extra-cozy quilts.

For lightweight tops and dresses, try cotton lawn or voile. For flowy, drapey garments, choose rayon. For relaxed summer pieces, linen is a favorite. For bags and aprons, sturdy canvas holds its shape.

Prewash fabric for clothing and anything you'll wash often, since it removes sizing and preshrinks the fabric. Deep reds, navies and dark batiks can release dye, so wash them in cold water with a color catcher sheet. Most quilters don't prewash precuts, because small pieces can fray.

We'd love to. Send us the fabrics you're considering and your pattern through our contact page, and we'll suggest coordinating prints, solids and binding.
