Does anyone have this fabric who could tell me what the repeat is? Of course I'm wanting to order this over the weekend, and staff aren't responding to email requests, so I thought I'd see if anyone here has it. Thanks!

While there is a ruler, I can't see the repeat

To find the repeat on a fabric I locate a specific thing along the edge (like a spot on a wing or leaf) then I slowly go down that edge until I can find that same spot again...that should be the repeat. It can vary in length from 4-5" to 18" so don't give up!

I think her point is that she doesn't own the fabric yet and wants to know before she buys it what the repeat is.

email the vendor of the fabric to see if they can tell you the repeat length. it's a great pattern.

does the listing state the manufacturer? you may be able to go to the manufacturer's website ... they sometimes list the repeat.

Great idea; it's Northcott. Unfortunately, they don't list the repeat length. sigh.

OOOhhhh please tell me where you are ordering from. My sister loves dragonflies and this would go perfectly with other fabrics I have for a quilt for her.
