How Fabric Is Measured and Cut

At Vend Fabrics, we pride ourselves not just on the quality of our materials, but also on ensuring our customers understand how they can get exactly what they need for their projects. One of the most common questions we get asked is how fabric is cut and sold. To make the process easy and transparent, all our fabrics are measured and sold by the length in meters.

Whether you’re a business sourcing materials in bulk or a hobbyist embarking on your latest creative project, buying by the meter offers incredible convenience and flexibility.

How Does It Work?

When you purchase fabric from Vend Fabrics, here’s how the process works step by step:

  1. Choose Your Fabric
    From our wide selection of materials, including Cotton French Terry, Rib Fabrics, T-Shirt Jersey, and more, select the fabric that best suits your needs.
  2. Decide on the Length
    All our fabrics are priced by the meter. Simply select the number of meters required for your project during the ordering process. Need 3 meters for a dress or 10 meters for curtains? We cut to your exact specifications.
  3. Precision Cutting
    Once your order is placed, our experienced team will carefully measure and cut the fabric using professional-grade tools. This ensures the accurate dimensions you request, and every piece is packed neatly to maintain quality during shipping.
  4. Delivery to Your Doorstep
    Your order will be shipped quickly, safely packaged, and ready for immediate use in your project.
