Another Grill Cloth Question
#17

Actually I was wrong, the standard width of a roll of fabric is 54'', I should have remembered this, less standard is 36'' and 44-45''. As far as I know there isn't such a thing as a 6'' wide loom and in fact I don't see the point in producing such a narrow width fabric as most patterns have a repeat to them, so you could produce a fabric 54'' or 36'' wide and repeat a pattern every six inches, or 12'', or whatever. I suspect that the original grille cloth was made this way as it would not make sense to produce a 6'' wide grille cloth only for table sets on a special loom. It would also make more sense to have a run of grille cloth made that would accommodate both console and table models if possible.
Before anyone goes ahead with this I think it would be best to clarify EXACTLY what the lady at Wool Gatherers was quoting. Is the fabric 36'' wide and $29 per 6'' up the roll, otherwise known as $174 a yard, or is the fabric 6'' and $29 per yard up the roll?
