Cheap vs Affordable: What to Watch For

Not all cheap fabric is a good deal. Here is what separates affordable quality fabric from cheap fabric you will regret buying:

  • Consistent color: Quality fabric has even dye throughout. Cheap fabric may have color variations between rolls.
  • Clean edges: Factory-cut selvage edges should be straight and clean.
  • No chemical smell: Strong chemical odors indicate harsh finishing processes that may irritate skin.
  • Weight consistency: Quality fabric feels uniform. Thin spots or thick patches mean poor manufacturing.
