You can't count on something looking the way it looks on the computer. Most of my stash is misfires from ordering. If I'm trying for a specific shade, I always buy two or three choices if it's a smallish amount. If the fabric needed is a larger amount, as for a border, sometimes I'll take a chance and order it all, and sometimes I'll request a swatch or order the minimum amount, so as to be sure it's right.
