Scarf Hemming Costs

Just to let you know...

We are extremely fortunate to print and finish some outstandingly beautiful scarves.

Our highly skilled in-house seamstresses have taken a great deal of pride in hemming each one of them over the past 6 years. Throughout this time, we have extended our range of hemming options to complement the fabrics we have available and introduced double-sided printing, but we have never increased our prices.

There is never a good time or a desire to increase prices, however we can no longer continue with our current charges set in 2017.

We do hope that you understand our need to amend our current hemming charges and invite you to get a quote before ordering your next batch of scarves. Please email: info@silkbureau.co.uk for your bespoke quote.

30th November 2023

New hemming prices will be applied from 30th November 2023. Please note any orders placed before this will be charged at the current rate.

We look forward to continuing to provide you with the service you have come to expect from us, whether that be for fabric printing, scarf production or cushion production.

If you would like to speak with a member of our team we are, as ever, just a phone call away. Call us on 01386 861122 and we’ll be happy to  help!

Printing Scarves

Shrinkage

The processes involved in digital textile printing causes the original fabric to shrink. If you are printing scarves, the size of the finished product will be important to you. For example, if you have square artwork, you will be expecting your finished scarf to be square!

To get the printed fabric closer to the size you need, all fabric intended for scarves must go through an extra step to reshape it. Please allow extra time on your deadlines to allow for this process. 

Let us introduce you to the …

Stenter

The stenter is an enormous piece of machinery that has many uses, including coating our fabrics and reshaping scarf orders.

After travelling through a solution to soften the fabric, it then passes over a flat bed, gripped on the selvedge edges to pull it back into shape. 

It’s a long and precise process that needs to be carefully monitored.

Shrinkage Disclaimer

If you have selected to use our hemming service, we will check the stentered fabric for you before we begin to finish your scarves. If you are not using our service, it’s up to you to check the size BEFORE you cut out the individual scarves from the fabric length. We cannot re-size after your scarves have been cut out.
