workflow guide
Original fabrics api guidance for Santa Fe: compare samples, yardage, room use, cleaning, and project risk using keyword-backed fabric planning.
Preview fabric samplesOriginal field note
fabrics api should read like a fabric-pattern operating manual focused on fabric catalog API documentation, material fields, availability payloads, and sample-order metadata, not a software claim: organize repeat, scale, palette, material, and suggested surface so a designer can filter a library without guessing. For Santa Fe, map one record to a headboard wall, tag it with chalk and flax, and require a hand-feel comparison beside a pillow before the pattern is recommended. The page should warn against assuming one yard proves everything and explain how pattern metadata prevents wasted yardage, mismatched repeats, and vague swatch folders.

Questions
Check color in the room, hand feel, cleaning code, abrasion needs, sunlight exposure, pets, kids, and whether the fabric needs backing or lining.
Different rooms wear differently. A dining chair, sunny window, rental sofa, and formal bench can need different cleanability, texture, and color forgiveness.
Match the fabric to daily friction: sunlight, pets, food, denim dye, window heat, moisture, and the way people actually sit or pull panels.
Order or compare swatches before yardage. Check color morning and night, then put the sample next to wood, flooring, wall paint, and existing trim.

Planning tool
1. Identify the piece.
Dining seat, sofa, cushion, drapery panel, headboard, or wall/ceiling treatment all need different allowances.
2. Check repeat and width.
Pattern repeat, railroaded fabric, and usable width change the final yardage.
3. Confirm with the maker.
Use this as planning guidance, then confirm yardage with the upholsterer, installer, or workroom.
