Common to have same print on different fabrics?
rfsews Beginner CA USA Member since 11/21/06 Posts: 140	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 9/19/12 4:35 AM I was browsing an online store tonight and came across a couple of cotton jerseys that look really familiar to me. So I went on Fabric.com and there they are! Same print but Fabric.com listed them under different contents: One is rayon jersey, and the other is rayon/poly/lycra. At first I thought maybe one of the stores listed the fabric wrong, but then I thought maybe they just print on different fabrics? Which is more likely? I don’t want to post the links to the fabrics in case that is a rule violation. If not, I can post them later?

In the past, I've found the identical print on very different types of fabrics produced by different companies. In one case involving a leopard print, one fabric was genuine Ultra Suede and the other fabric was poly/lycra ITY knit.

Often, she'll stock the same print in both a knit and a woven. ------ --Michelle *** Blog: http://happilycaffeinated.blogspot.com/
