A running meter is a unit of measurement used for fabric and other roll materials. It refers to one meter in length of the material, while the width remains fixed as determined by the manufacturer.
For example, if a fabric is 140 cm wide, then 1 running meter means you get a piece that is 1 meter long × 140 cm wide. If the fabric is 280 cm wide, then 1 running meter would be 1 meter long × 280 cm wide.
Railroaded fabric is designed so that the pattern runs horizontally across the roll rather than vertically. This is particularly useful for upholstery projects, such as sofas and headboards where you want to avoid seams and pattern interruptions on wide surfaces. For curtaining, railroaded fabrics can also be used to create seamless, floor-to-ceiling drapes when the width of the fabric allows.
Double-width or wide-width fabric typically measures 280 cm or more in width. This is ideal for curtains because it allows for seamless, floor-to-ceiling drops without the need for joins. It’s also great for upholstery projects that require larger fabric pieces with fewer seams. Many wide-width fabrics are also railroaded, offering even greater flexibility for seamless installations.
