By Ruby Prothero

When taking the time to learn about upholstery fabrics and their uses it's important to realize what types and styles are on the market. From different colors, styles, weights, and designs to knowing which fabrics are versatile and which ones are durable these 3 listed items will give you a better understanding.

1. If you are not exactly sure all the different projects you'll be working on or if you know you need to cover a wide range of sewing or stitching jobs then having a versatile fabric is very important. An example would be any type of chenille fabric. Chenille can be used for clothes such as designer handbags, fashionable bed covers and skirts, and also larger upholstering projects.

2. When choosing what fabric you will use having a larger selection of styles, designs, textures, and patterns is better than less, right? Of course not all types of upholstery fabrics can have a huge variety of choices but many can. So if you have a complex or creative mind than you might want to choose within the variety of choices from fabrics like tapestry or chenille fabrics.

3. So what if you are working on a larger project like for instance reupholstering an entire mobile home or camper? What if you are recovering couches and chairs? If you have a bigger project that calls for long lasting upholstery you want a material with durability! A couple of popular heavier weight upholstering materials are tapestry and commercial fabrics.

So by knowing if you need a versatile material or one that can withstand wear and tear you now have a good idea on what to look. Don't forget about all the upholstery fabrics and their uses when you can have a variety of colors and designs to choose from too. Good luck with your future projects. - 30408
