Fabric width and repeats may vary up to 5%. Shrinkage is also normal even for preshrunk fabric up to 3%.

Natural products such as silk, linen and cotton will have natural imperfections. Slubs, dyelot variation, bubs and nominal pattern variation is to be expected and is a part of the natural beauty and should not be considered defects.

NOVELTY PRODUCTS – HAND EMBROIDERED AND STUDDED
Since many of the embroidered and studded products are hand made, some variation in repeat and design is deemed acceptable. Also note that these items may be delicate and should be handled with care.
SPECIAL PROCESS AND SERVICES
