When I buy fabric online the fabric line name does not have any influence of me. Sometimes I look at the manufacture because I have my favorite companies. Then at the collections, very rarely do I look by color only if I plan on doing a quilt or need a particular color. What I do too is right down a few fabric lines I would like to purchase as I see them used in some of the magazines I get, or the online quilt shop.

I look at all fabric! If I think they may have something I'm looking for.......I don't care about the name. I've found great fabric in very weird named places online...........and that always makes me smile!
|
I look at all the fabrics and rarely at the names. I have many areas of interest to work with, so the names just don't enter into it. In 2 yrs only once did I need the name of the fabric & that was because I had trouble locating a coordinating fabric I wanted.
|
I have purchased many, many, many, yards of music fabric. Sometimes a fabric line has a name that sounds musical but has ntohing to do with music or instruments. Other lines like Elizabeth Studios have names like Live Jazz that really is music.
So yes, I do look at names but that does not always get me what I am looking for. |
I'm only concerned with how the fabric looks and not with the name.
|
I only use the names for searching purposes, other than that they have no influence on my decision to buy or not.

So, the answer is, "No, I don't pay attention to the name--just how it looks" and the price. I didn't realize fabric had names for their patterns for the longest time... |
Names have never mattered to me, I look at all the fabrics and choose what I like. I guess because sometimes I have looked at names and they make no sense to me when I look at the fabric. Not sure who comes up with the names, but in some cases I think they need to rethink them :)

I pick out fabric by ignoring the themes I know I don't want...kids,tractors cats,etc. But then when I am looking at what I know I want,I have to go through the whole line. And when I'm on a batik site, I look at every single thing! I don't consider names very much.
