Railroaded and Non-Railroaded Fabrics

 Railroded pattern runs across the roll. The fabric roll width is curtain drop. This gives you a seamless curtain as there is no limited by the width of the curtain.

This is especially useful when there is a large pattern, stripes, velvet or chenille. 

Most of our designs are railroded fabric. The width of the most fabric rolls is 110". We can make seamless curtains if your curtain heights are below 102". We can also extend the curtain heights up to 114" by extending curtain heading and bottom hems.


  


Alternatively, the vertical stripes/patterns will become horizontal stripes/patterns if changing the fabric orientation. It will allow you to make a curtain of any length without adding horizontal seams. The fabric roll width is curtain width.
