Glossary: Fabric Repeat

**Fabric Repeat** is the vertical or horizontal spacing after which a printed textile pattern duplicates, dictating layout cut wastes when aligning patterns across upholstered panels.

Pattern Repeat Sizing

Standard patterns require matching along seams. Larger repeats generate greater cutting scrap waste, requiring contractors to specify a waste factor (+10% to +30%) during ordering.
