only 2 of the oval shape patterns are on one repeat. when ordering I though that the measurements went the other way so I assumed I would be getting something similar to what is in the photo. So needless to say ,I was very disappointed when I received only a fraction of the pattern, of what was in the pic. I have shopped with Finnstyle for several years now. I discovered the shop when I was living in Minneapolis and continued supporting them after the shop closed and they went online only. I have purchased quite a few of different fabric repeats over the this time and haven't made this mistake yet. I do understand that this was my error and ordering the 2nd repeat would have been smart, but the photo is deceiving.

How many repeats do I need to buy if I want 4 "bulbs"? Is 1 "bulb" = 1 repeat?
1 Answer
There are two "bulbs" per repeat (see secondary picture). So 2 repeats will have 4 of them.

Hello,
Unfortunately repeat fabric can only be sold by the repeat or it will compromise an entire piece. Sorry for an inconvenience.
