Can I bring my own fabric in Sterling?
Definitely. However, please be advised that some upholstery shops or upholsterers may charge you extra for the cutting fee. Although this is acceptable, it is not advisable. Unless you have basic background with taking measurements for upholstery purposes, there is a possibility that you might buy the wrong fabric or the fabric may not be enough for the whole furniture. Reupholstering is an investment so it is important that the fabric should always be right for the job.
Why is it not advisable by upholsterers in Sterling to buy bargain fabrics?
In today's fabric manufacturing, it is quite tough to know what you are really purchasing, especially if it is ‘bargain' fabrics. It is best to get fabrics from reputable fabric manufacturers to get the best quality to be used in the upholstery creation. Also, good manufacturers provide information about abrasion rating and stain resistance and guarantee that if there is anything wrong with the fabric, they will fix or replace it. In some cases, budget fabrics are manufactured using the same pattern numbers but not the same ingredients. They may even be produced overseas with different guidelines than in the USA. It is often hard to know. Also, fabrics have their shelf life. They lose freshness and can become wrinkled or creased more easily when they are old.
I want my cushions reconditioned in Sterling. Do I have to wait for a week for them to be finished?
No. Upholsterers can have your cushions ready in a day or two. A small project can be squeezed into an upholsterer's schedule so that you can get them back without waiting through the backlog. Usually just a couple of days. Just ask, they would be happy to let you know how fast they can push something through for you.
What can I do to make my Sterling upholstery last long?
It is highly recommended to get fabric protection to guard against soiling.
