Probably not.

The first thing the Upholstry mfg. does is cut the fabric for the sofa frame.

Ask your retailer if it's been acknowledged, if it has the fabric has usually been cut.

Well, you can always ask. The worst they can do is say no.

A better question is why you're feeling wary about your first choice. Did it feel like the right fabric, or did you arrive at this choice through some analytical process, or did you ask a lot of other people for their opinions and in the process ignore your own? Anyways, like they said in school about multiple choice tests, you're first choice is probably your best.

I'm always second guessing myself - I thought I chose the right fabric. I knew I needed something durable, and a bit darker. They are couches for the main TV area - and I had 3 little boys & a dog. So I went with a reddish color that has taupe flecks through it. I thought it was more brick but it's called terracotta. I now am getting nervous about ending up with couches that will look more orange or pinky. It's pretty hard to pick couches from a 5x5 inch swatch! I'm just wondering if I had gone with a safe taupe/camel now. I ordered an 86" sofa to go in place of the green on in the pic below. I also ordered a 75" matching couch to go across the back of the room (jut to the right on the end table). I guess it'll have kind of a sectional look. I hope I haven't "boxed in the room."

Here's the fabric - 1st pic is w/flash, 2nd is w/o flash -

i think the color will go great with the rug.

Just my two cents.

I'm confused. Which fabric did you choose? Those two swatches are not the same fabric. Anyways, either one will look nice.

You situation is very typical. Your old sofa looks like an old sofa. ANYTHING would be an improvement. You have two nice fabrics, I don't see what you're worried about. Don't be afraid of color, color is your friend. I don't see pink in either swatch. Orange is a great color, very cheery.

Remeber the days of cotton prints? There was some really wild stuff available back then. You'll be fine.

The 2 fabrics I posted above are, indeed, the same fabric. I took both pictures. One is w/a flash on one w/the flash off. I'm HOPING it's not orangy when I get the couch! My old sofa is only about 3 years old - it's being moved to another room. I chose the fabric above but I was 2nd guessing all the color. Not sure if I should go for the safe (neutral color) way out.
