I used to work with 6 Designers at a National Home builder... Man, I got some GREAT fabrics! Most of them were Upholstery grade, but not all. Everytime a Rep for the manufactor came in with a new line, I'd pick thru the samples & take what I wanted. I have several bags of beautiful lightweight cottons that tell me they want to be new duvet covers for the Grand kids. plus the discounts on yardage.... Like working in a candy store!
