Frequently Asked Questions

Are you a “real” fabric store?

We are! We have debated many times what the right approach is to opening our little store, and for now, have landed on this model. We are online for the larger community of sewists throughout North America, and for those of you who live in and around Edmonton, we have hours at our brick and mortar location at Unit 101, 7019 104 Street NW, in Edmonton.

Can I buy whatever quantity of fabric I want?

Yes! When we decided to start this venture, one of our “hill to die on” items was that we wanted to sell fabric to our customers in increments of 0.1m. Nothing is more frustrating than being forced to purchase more fabric than you need, and being left with unwanted scraps.
Please ensure that you order the amount you need for your pattern, as we cut the amount you purchase, with very little excess. Most fabrics will shrink some when washed as well, so allow for shrinkage when you figure out your yardage. As always, if you have any questions, please send us a note at formerandlatterfabrics@gmail.com.
