I order a lot of fabric online. For me, the colors always seem to be fine----it is the sheen of the fabric. I love certain brands; however, I have found that even within the same brand, some fabrics have an absolutely wonderful hand/sheen; and some are close to "rags"...maybe that is a bit rough; but some are not quite the fiber I have expected.
I wish that the fabric manufacturers could come up with some way of telling us about the "Hand" of the fiber.
Once, I purchased quite a few yards of a fabric online from one of my online favorite vendors, to make a curtain. OMG! I hate it!!!!!! The colors are accurate, but the feel of the fabric....can you say, "Rag for windows????"
If anyone has any insight into this please post! If you work for a fabric manufacturer, tell your people; this is a problem!!!
Thanks!!!
