Color Waves

Not sure about the color? We highly recommend ordering a sample swatch first to see the color and fabric in person. Colors may vary slightly due to screen settings and dye lots. Returns are accepted in accordance with our return policy and are subject to applicable restocking fees.

Dye Lot Variations

A Note About Dye Lots Dye lots may vary slightly from order to order. As one fabric roll sells out and a new roll is opened, subtle color variations may occur. If matching a specific shade is important, we recommend ordering a sample swatch to view our current dye lot before placing your order.

Full Piece and/or Splits

Full Pieces & Splits

We always do our best to provide your order in one continuous piece whenever possible. However, as fabric rolls are completed or depending on how they arrive from the mill, an order may occasionally include more than one piece. Some mill-direct rolls may also contain splits within the roll.

For this reason, we cannot guarantee one continuous piece. If continuous yardage is important for your project, please contact our team before ordering so we can check availability for you.

Great fabric I can't wait to start my project

Thank you Love to work with this fabric.

Thank you i love your fabrics. I will be buying more soon.

Beautiful fabric and color. I'm not a great seamstress so it was a little hard to work with because it frays so easily but it is worth the struggle. My project was for a Luna Lapin friend.

Very nice fabric at a nice price. Order to delivery was 7 days. Seller was very easy to work with. I wanted a Jewel Purple color specified on their fabric swatch colors but not available on the drop down. Instead of assuming they were out, I asked if it was available and the shipper sent the color I wanted. So this is the Jewel Purple in the picture, not the 1032 Purple.

I ordered and received three colors of the Dupioni

I ordered and received three colors of the Dupioni. I am very happy with the color, hand and weight of the fabric. I will order again when necessary.
As a costume maker of Greek folk costumes, I have to stick very close to the research. fabric has become harder and harder to find… especially with velvets, silks and jacquard fabrics. I was very happy to find what I needed, in a perfect width and reasonably priced.

As described and pictured. Thank you.

Wonderful quality and the best customer service

I have been using MTF for over 8 years and I can tell you that they are the best, hands down. From the top quality of all of their fabrics to fast shipping to the outstanding and truly fabulous customer service, you will not find another fabric vendor like them! They are my only source for all my silk dupioni fabric for a reason!

JoAnn's who?

This was my first fabric order after JoAnn's closed and from an online retailer. Service is super fast, customer service is A++. Colors are true to the pictures (at least for me). Prices are super reasonable. Shipping is fast. Fabric is packed neatly and ready for use. I will continue to use this company for the majority of my fabric needs.

I had the Shantung Silk/poly sent to my fabricator, so I haven’t seen it; however, he reports that “it is beautiful!” Thx mucho, T

I am using this fabric for a wedding gown. The color is a high cream color and it will be a nice fabric choice. I plan to layer it with a silk organza fabric.

Perfect as always! Thank you

Frequently asked questions

Which satin should I choose for a wedding?

Bridal satin and duchess satin are the classics for gowns, while charmeuse drapes more fluidly for bridesmaid dresses and table runners. Weight and sheen are the key differences. Our bridal satin guide walks through sheen, weight, and best occasions.

What's the difference between charmeuse and crepe back satin?

Charmeuse has a high-shine face and matte back with a liquid drape; crepe back satin gives you two looks in one — satin on one side, crepe texture on the other. Both are popular for apparel and drapery. Compare them in detail in our charmeuse vs. crepe back satin guide.

How do I care for satin fabric?

Care varies by fabric — check the product listing. Satin weaves can snag and show water spots, so gentle handling matters regardless of fiber content. See our delicate fabric care guide for best practices.

Should I buy satin by the yard or by the bolt?

By the yard works for single projects; by the bolt saves significantly per yard for weddings, events, or resale. Bolt pricing is wholesale, and we cut multi-yard orders from one bolt for color consistency. Our 2026 fabric buying guide breaks down yard vs. bolt vs. swatches. Our satin starts from $2.89 per yard.

How does satin compare to velvet and chiffon?

Satin is smooth with a reflective sheen, velvet has pile and depth, and chiffon is sheer and airy — each creates a completely different mood in apparel and decor. Many event designers combine them. This three-fabric comparison helps you choose.
