FAQ

What quantities do you sell your fabric in?

All of our fabric is sold by 1/4 metre (25cm / ~10”) unless otherwise specified. Dimensions are listed for any fabrics sold by the panel.

If I order more than 1 metre of fabric will it come in a single continuous piece?

Yes, we make a single cut off the bolt. For example, if you order 6 units of fabric, you will receive a single 1 1/2 metre cut.

What do the colour/numbers mean in the fabric bio?

We do our best to colour match fabrics to Gutermann thread to help customers at home. This also acts as a great guide to decide what colour thread to sew in. A full Gutermann colour chart can be found here.

 

What if the item I would like is listed as ‘Out of Stock’?

Any item shown as ‘Out of Stock’ online may still be available in store. Please email us at info@darrellthomas.com to check availability.

Do you offer samples?

Yes, we supply samples for most products. A sample is a small cutting of the fabric and may vary in size (usually at least 3cm x 10cm minimum, depending on the value of the fabric). A sample will give a true representation of colour, texture, pattern, weight and handle of a fabric. Please note there is a maximum of 10 samples per customer. We charge a $3 fee for a sample pack. You can find our sample page here.

If you require more than a small cutting, we recommend purchasing 25cm of fabric instead. Please note, this is not an official sample and therefore does not fall under our sample shipping policy.

What is your return policy?

Once an order has been placed and the fabric has been cut, we cannot accept refunds or exchanges.

We do our best to ensure the colour of the fabric online matches as close as possible to the bolt in the shop. We shoot our photographs in natural light and agonize over the the exact shade and colour description in our photos and fabric listing. However, due to the vast colour variances in every monitor and mobile device, we cannot guarantee the colour will be an exact match to what you see online.

We have also listed a Gutermann colour chart as reference for the colours in the fabric. The chart can be viewed here.

Can I cancel my order?

We are unable to cancel orders where fabrics have already been cut to specification. However if your items have not yet been prepared for dispatch, then we may be able to cancel your order. Please contact Customer Services on 613-256-7455 for immediate assistance.
