Shopping for fabric online can feel overwhelming if you're new to sewing or quilting. At Kahanne Fabrics, we want to make your first fabric purchase easy and exciting!
📏 Understanding Fabric Measurements
Fabric is sold by the yard (36 inches) in the U.S. When planning your project, always buy a little extra to account for shrinkage and pattern matching. For quilting, fat quarters (18" x 21") are popular pre-cut options.
🧶 Types of Fabric We Offer
- Cotton quilting fabric: Perfect for quilts, home decor, and craft projects
- Apparel fabric: Ideal for clothing and garments
- Designer prints: Unique patterns from premium fabric designers
- Solid fabrics: Essential basics in multiple colors
💡 Tips for First-Time Buyers
1. Start with 100% cotton - it's forgiving and easy to work with
2. Pre-wash your fabric before sewing to prevent shrinkage
3. Order swatches if you're unsure about colors (contact us!)
4. Check the fabric weight for your specific project
