Reduce Seaming with Railroaded Fabric
Most upholstery fabric is 54 inches wide and, if it features a pattern, the pattern is run down the length of the bolt. When upholstering, it generally looks best to run a patterned fabric from the top to the bottom of the piece and from the back to the front. This requires seams every 54 inches on larger pieces like sofas and long boat cushions. Alternatively, a Railroaded fabric pattern can be used to eliminated unwanted seams. The patterns in Railroaded Sunbrellas run across their widths. This makes Railroaded Sunbrella perfect for these longer projects.
In this illustration, the fabric rolls out to cover the cushions without need for a seam.
This is a photo example of the railroaded fabric coming off the roll.
This is a photo example of fabric that is not railroaded coming off the roll.
In this illustration the fabric rolls out vertically, and for this type of single cushion, would require several seams to cover the couch.
Post Office shipping is now functional through Sailrite's website. USPS services may now be selected for domestic and international orders. Most importantly this resolves shipping calculation problems to Sailrite's customers at APO and FPO addresses. It will also make it possible to select USPS shipping methods to deliverable addresses in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. On rare occasions it may still be necessary for a Sailrite customer service agent to contact a customer about an inappropriate shipping method selection. For instance, it is not possible to ship 60" rolled fabric to Canada via Priority Mail International. For complete restrictions on package sizes and weights see the United States Postal Service website (usps.com).
