There are two ways of "topping" fabrics, termed Railroad and Cut Right by Furniture Crafters of Virginia. Railroad is "topped" to the edge of the fabric and Cut Right "topped" in to the roll (see the drawing 2 below). All COM will be cut with the major motif in a vertical manner unless you specify other wise, including stripes and textures. In the absence of special instructions, we reserve the right to determine the application of your fabric. In these instances requiring such a decision, Furniture Crafters of Virginia, Inc. will not be held responsible for a COM application deemed unsatisfactory by the customer. Furniture Crafters of Virginia Inc. assumes no responsibility for soil resistant treatment on fabric and does guarantee it to improve the clearing qualities of the fabric. Also, treatment applied after manufacturing is not recommended since damages to the fabric can occur. Wrinkling of certain fabrics is a characteristic of the fabric and not a defect.

Pricing COM Orders:  Furniture Crafters’ will apply COM material at our COM pricing.  Our standard COM pricing is for a non-match fabric being applied.  If vinyl or crypton  type fabrics are being used as COM, there will being a pricing surcharge applied to your order.  When 2 or more fabrics are to be applied with customers own material there will be a 15% surcharge above the COM pricing.  Pattern matching of plaids and unusual pattern fabric is done from a frontal view only.  If additional matching is required such as 4-way matching, there will be an additional surcharge of 20% above the COM price.  Please contact Furniture Crafters if this additional matching is required. 

COM Yardage Requirements:  COM fabric yardage requirements shown in the upholstery catalog and price list are based on non-match 54” wide fabrics, which are free from defects. 

Please use the following chart as a guide in determining the amount of yardage which will be required on your COM fabric.  Take the below listed % and use as a plus multiplier against our published yardage in price book (ex: 8 yards x 1.25 = 10 yards).  This chart is provided as a guide and proves to be accurate for most COM requirements.  If your fabric has an irregular layout or may require a different method of cutting, additional yardage may be needed.  This will be determined at the time the order is placed in production, and you will be notified for additional yardage.  Fabrics which have one center motif across the width use 36” yardage requirement.

 COM Yardage requirements:

Fabric Width	Non-Match	2"-10" Repeat	11"-20" Repeat	21"-30" Repeat	31"-40" Repeat
54"	0%	15%	25%	35%	45%
50"	15%	30%	40%	50%	60%

 Disclaimer for COM Fabric:  Furniture Crafters’ will use its best judgment in applying COM fabric if specific instructions are not included with the order.  We will not be responsible if the customer does not like the application of the fabric to the frame.  It is the responsibility of the customer to make sure all fabrics meet local flammability codes.  We cannot be responsible for any COM fabric that has vinyl coatings applied.  Furniture Crafters’ reserves the right to refuse a COM fabric that would not upholster to our quality standards.
