FAQ
These are actual questions buyers have asked us about fabric for throw pillows.
Q1: What fabric is best for throw pillows?
A1: The best fabric depends on how the pillows will be used. For a formal living room where pillows are decorative, velvet or printed fabrics are great choices. For a family room where pillows will be used daily, cotton, linen, or microsuede are practical, durable options. For texture and warmth, bouclé is an excellent choice.
Q2: Is the fabric machine-washable?
A2: Most of our throw pillow fabrics are machine-washable – cotton, linen, polyester velvet, and microsuede can all be washed on a gentle cycle. Always check the specific care instructions for your fabric. Turn covers inside out before washing, and air dry or tumble dry low.
Q3: How much fabric do I need for throw pillows?
A3: For a standard 18×18 inch pillow, you need approximately 1/2 yard of 54-inch wide fabric for the front and back. For a 22×22 inch pillow, approximately 2/3 yard. For a 24×24 inch pillow, approximately 3/4 yard. Always add extra for seam allowance, pattern matching, and piping if you are using those.
Q4: Can I get custom printed fabric for pillows?
A4: Yes. We offer custom printing on select base fabrics. Send us your artwork – vector or high-resolution raster – and we will print it on the fabric. A sample is produced for your approval before full production. MOQ for custom prints depends on the design complexity and quantity.
Q5: Can I get a physical colour card or fabric sample?
A5: Yes – and we recommend it. Screens cannot show the true texture, softness, and colour depth of fabrics accurately. We keep swatch rings for our stock colours and patterns. Free to request – you cover shipping.
Q6: What is the MOQ for this fabric?
A6: For stock colours and patterns, no minimum – you can order by the yard. For custom colours or custom prints, the MOQ is typically 500-1,000 metres per design. Bulk pricing is available for larger orders.
Q7: How is the fabric sold?
A7: Sold by the yard. The width is typically 54-60 inches. Multiple yards are cut as one continuous piece – for example, ordering 3 yards gives you a single 3-yard piece, not three separate pieces.
Q8: Is the fabric suitable for outdoor use?
A8: Most of our throw pillow fabrics are designed for indoor use. For outdoor pillows, we recommend specifically treated outdoor fabrics that are UV-resistant and water-resistant. We offer outdoor-rated options on request.
