Don't buy swatches. They're a waste.
I ordered 4 swatches of fabric because I plan to recover a bunch of outdoor furniture. For $3 a swatch, I expected reasonably-sized pieces that would give you an inkling of how it would look on my furniture. What I got were cell-phone-sized pieces of fabric that were completely useless. So, I called customer service. The response. "That's our normal swatch size. No refunds."
Disgusted, I went to OnlineFabric Store, where they have a tool that lets you visualize the fabric on your furniture. I bought $1,000 of fabric.
