Where’s My Fabric
Do Ask:For swatches
What are their minimum order Quantities? (MOQ’s)
What are their lead times?
Do they do color matching lab dips and how does that affect costs/ timelines?
What are their payment methods and requirements?
Do they arrange shipping the fabric to your manufacturer?
Don’t Ask:For a fabric that some brand or designer used
For education on fabric make and properties (that’s why you researched, remember?)
