Welcome to The Textile District
The Textile District is a North Carolina-based custom fabric printer and online fabric retailer specializing in premium fabric by the yard, printed to order in the USA. Since 2012, we have worked with designers, makers, small businesses, and sewing enthusiasts looking for better fabric, greater flexibility, and a more thoughtful way to bring creative ideas to life.
From artist-designed collections to custom printing services, we make it easy to order fabric that fits your project. Choose the design you love, select the colorway that works best, pick the base fabric that suits your end use, and order the quantity you need.
Premium Fabric by the Yard, Printed for the Way You Create
Not every project calls for large wholesale quantities or off-the-shelf inventory. Many customers are looking for something more specific: a print that feels distinctive, a fabric that performs well, and the freedom to order with intention.
That is where The Textile District stands apart.
Our fabrics are printed to order on a range of carefully selected base fabrics for apparel, quilting, home decor, special events, and small-batch production. The result is a more flexible fabric-buying experience with soft hand, vibrant color, and lasting beauty.
We use OEKO-TEX® certified printing and finishing, and our process is designed to produce fabric that feels as good as it looks.
Why Customers Choose The Textile District
Customers come to The Textile District because they want more control over the final result and more confidence in what they are ordering.
They value the ability to shop artist-designed fabrics in multiple colorways, choose the fabric base that best fits the project, and order premium fabric by the yard without committing to large production runs. For designers and small businesses, that means greater flexibility. For home sewists and creative professionals, it means being able to source fabric that feels more personal, more polished, and better suited to the finished piece.
Whether the project is a dress, quilt, window treatment, table linen, decorative accent, or small production run, our printed-to-order model makes it easier to match the fabric to the purpose.
How Ordering Works
Our process is simple.
Start by browsing our design collection or exploring custom printing options. From there, choose your preferred colorway, select the base fabric that best suits your project, and order the quantity you need.
This approach gives customers more freedom to work around the needs of the project rather than around someone else’s inventory. Instead of settling for a print on the wrong fabric, or purchasing more yardage than makes sense, you can order with greater precision.
Fabric for Designers, Makers, and Small-Batch Production
We serve a wide range of customers, from independent designers and bespoke clothiers to quilters, event planners, home decorators, and growing brands.
Some are creating one meaningful project. Others are sourcing fabric for client work, product development, or ongoing production in smaller quantities. Many are simply looking for something they cannot find through mass-market fabric sources.
What they have in common is a desire for quality, flexibility, and fabric that feels thoughtfully made.
Digital Fabric Printing vs. Traditional Printing Methods
Traditional methods such as rotary and screen printing are typically built for large production runs. That model can work well for high-volume manufacturing, but it often comes with higher setup demands, larger minimums, and the need to commit to substantial quantities of a single design and colorway.
Digital fabric printing offers a different approach.
At The Textile District, designs are printed to order on the base fabric you choose. That means you can order for the project in front of you rather than investing heavily in excess inventory. It also makes it easier to work across different fabric types, explore multiple colorways, and order in quantities that make sense for your needs.
For many of our customers, that flexibility is one of the biggest advantages of printed-to-order fabric.
