A Plush Addict Guide To: Border Prints

A Plush Addict Guide To: Border Prints

by | Apr 15, 2015 | Fabric Guides, Fabric Information Guide, My Makes

I have been asked a few times recently to explain what a “border  print” fabric is. If you’re not up to speed on this particular fabric lingo read on, especially as we’ve had a couple of crackers arrive this week. If I’m teaching you to suck eggs then scroll down to the inspiration part to check out the pretty prints!

So what is a border print?

Most prints are printed so the pattern runs “up the bolt/ roll” where the direction of the print runs at 90 degrees to the selvedge, like the illustration to the right.

Some fabrics are designed so that the print runs in parallel to the
edge, like the illustrations below. These are the prints we refer to as “border prints” or they can also be known as “railroaded prints”

 

In a border print the design runs along one side of the selvedge.
A double border print has the design running along both selvedge edges.

Border and railroaded prints offer some exciting design opportunities. They work particularly well for items like dresses and skirts. These prints can also add extra interest to items like aprons, cot bumpers and bags, to name just a few ideas. You can find our border prints here.
