As you can see behind this
student, fabric can also come on a roll. This makes it much easier
to work with because it lies flat on the roll with no wrinkles or folds in
it. |

Fabric is shipped
to your local fabric shop by rolls, bolts, or flats. Then it is nicely
displayed for your shopping. Most bolts come in measurements of 45" or
60". |
