Large scale prints are a powerful way to make a statement with your wardrobe or home décor. These fabrics feature bold, eye-catching patterns that can instantly transform any project.

When choosing large scale prints, it's important to consider the overall design of your garment or décor. The scale of the print should be proportionate to the size of the item you're making. For example, a large print would be overwhelming on a small pillowcase, but it could be stunning on a bedspread.

Here are a few tips for using large scale prints:

Choose a print that complements the overall style of your project.
Consider the scale of the print in relation to the size of the item you're making.
Use simple construction techniques to avoid overwhelming the print.
Add small details, such as piping or trim, to enhance the look of the print.
