How is Sew Bettie fabric sold and cut?
Sew Bettie fabric is usually sold as fat quarters (unless the product description says otherwise). Our fat quarters are about 18" by 21".
If you order 2 fat quarters, they will be cut about 42" wide and 18" long. If you order 3 fat quarters, you will receive one piece that is 42" wide and 18" long and one piece that is 18" by 21". If you want a traditional yard of fabric (about 36" X 42"), order 4 fat quarters. We will print your fabric as a continuous piece of fabric up to 3 yards (12 fat quarters). If you order, for example, 5 yards (20 fat quarters), it will come as a 3 yard piece and a 2 yard piece. If you'd like your fabric cut differently, please email us at info@sewbettie.com and we'll let you know if we can do it.
Why do you sell limited edition fabric?
Aren't you sick of seeing the same fabric everywhere? Taking the time to invent a new design, only to see your fabric choice all over the indie craft scene? Limited edition fabric makes your handmade creations even more unique. Our fabric is art all by itself. Staple Sew Bettie fabric onto stretcher bars for quick, no sew wall art.
What does it mean when you say that Sew Bettie fabric is limited edition?
All of the Sew Bettie fabric is limited edition except for our signature "Bettie" fabric. The usual edition size is 100 yards and is specified in the product description. This means that we promise to only sell 100 yards of the design.
Are there any exceptions to the size of the edition?
We will never sell more than the edition number listed in the product description. However, we reserve the right to print more for our own personal use.
How long will it take for my fabric to ship?
We use print-on-demand technology. This means that we print the fabric as you order it. It may take up to 3 weeks for your fabric to ship if it is not already in stock. If you're in a hurry, email us at info@sewbettie.com and we'll let you know if the fabric you're interested in is in stock.
What is your printing process?
Mark designs the fabric (with a little editorial comment from Cara) in our Chicago studio. Sew Bettie fabric is printed digitally in North Carolina at Spoonflower. The fabric is 100% quilting weight cotton. It is about 44" wide, although the print is only about 42" wide (meaning there is an inch of white fabric on either side). The fabric will shrink about 4% when you wash and dry it - this shrinkage is an industry standard. There may be very slight color shifts or imperfections.
Can I sell items I make using Sew Bettie fabric?
Yes! We'd love to see pictures of your items too so send us an email at info@sewbettie.com. We'd also really appreciate it if you mentioned Sew Bettie in any product description of items that are for sale.
