Ordering

Does the fabric come in one continuous piece?

Can I order linear 1/4 and 3/4 yards increments?

No, since we inventory all of our cotton fabric by the fat quarter, we do not sell 1/4 yard increments. 4my3boyz Fabrics was built on specializing in selling fabric by the fat quarter. This is a rectangle of fabric that is 18"x 22". A yard of fabric is usually 36" X 44", so there are 4 fat quarters to a yard of fabric.

What if you do not have the amount of fabric that I have ordered?

  • Contact you prior to shipping
  • Cancel and refund this fabric in your order, or
  • Send what we do have and refund the rest
