Rail Road FabricsUpdated 2 months ago

Railroad fabric refers to a type of upholstery fabric that is woven horizontally

instead of vertically. It's the way a fabric, particularly a pattern or stripe, is

milled. Usually, fabric patterns run “up the roll,” meaning the pattern flows

from top to bottom, parallel with the selvage edges. On a fabric that is

railroaded, the pattern runs across the roll from selvage to selvage. In

contrast, most fabrics are woven with the pattern running vertically, or up and

down.
