The most common mistakes when ordering fabrics online (and how to avoid them)

Buying fabrics online is a quick and convenient option, but to ensure a perfect result, it's important to avoid some common mistakes. Today we'll tell you about the main errors we detect at Waixo and how you can easily prevent them. Take note!

   

1. Not requesting a sample and getting the fabric color wrong

One of the most frequent mistakes is choosing a color based solely on the online image, without first requesting a physical sample. Each screen displays colors differently, and small nuances can be key to your project.

How to avoid it?

Before placing your final order, ask for a fabric sample. This way, you can see the real color under different lights and make sure it matches exactly what you're looking for.

2. Not requesting a sample and receiving a fabric that doesn't meet your needs

Another common mistake is choosing a fabric without first checking its texture, weight, or drape. A photograph doesn't always convey the sensations you'll experience when working with the fabric.

How to avoid it?

Request a fabric sample before placing your final order. You'll be able to touch it, check its resistance, see its elasticity, and ensure it's perfect for the project you have in mind.

   

Why is it important to ask for samples before buying fabric?

Requesting samples not only saves you from unpleasant surprises, but also saves you time, money, and potential frustrations. At Waixo, we offer a sample service precisely so that every project is a success from the start.

Remember:

• Requesting a sample = Secure order.
• A small gesture that makes a big difference in the final result.
