2024 - New Fabric, More Shopping Options, and Meeting New Wonderful People
As we look back on the past year, we at Big Z Fabric are thrilled to share the strides we’ve made to enhance your fabric shopping experience. From product innovations to expanding our presence in the creative community, this year has been about growth, collaboration, and putting our customers first. Here’s a recap of our most exciting milestones:
We've added a bunch of new fabric to our store:
Stretch Faux Fur - The first and only fabric company in the US where you can buy a 4 way stretch faux fur
Calico Python Snake Vinyl - A glossy and serpentine embossed vinyl in high contrast color patterns
Hippie Jaguar Faux Fur - A spin on our Half Shag Beaver with bright, popping, jaguar print that is a statement in every setting

Half Shag (Cow) (Knit Backing) Faux Fur - We created a new variation of our staple Half Shag Beaver that has a traditional dual tone cow print
Heat Transfer Apparel Flocking Suede PVC Backing - We sourced and have made available to our customers a high quality heat transfer suede that will make your custom iron on designs look great and last a long time
Hex Honeycomb Quilt Automotive Vinyl with Foam Backing - As we expand our line to include more performance automotive fabric we have sourced a super sleek and high quality interior upholstery vinyl for you to use
Neo Wolf Anti-Shed Animal Faux Fur - Save your sinuses while working with these classic wolf pelt dupes that forget the common nuisance of faux fur shedding when cutting and sewing
Palma Performance Auto Vinyl - Use this highly durable and long lasting classic automotive upholstery vinyl to make your automotive interior look and perform better than ever
Poison Spike Shag Faux Fur - We dumped a nefarious potion into our sweet and innocent Candy Shag Faux Fur and created this bright contrasted faux fur that is perfect for projects with attitude

More Denims and Twills - We've added several more options in our Twill and Denims including our Whisper Twill, Tencel Denim, Stretch Denim, Peach Twill, and Chambray Fabric
Continuing to offer more Fabric options and features
1. Flexible Faux Fur Fabric Purchases (Half Yards now available) - We listened to your feedback and made a major improvement to how you shop for faux fur. Now, you can purchase faux fur in half-yard increments, giving you more flexibility to buy just what you need for your projects. Whether it’s a small DIY project or a large-scale design, this new option ensures you have the perfect amount of fabric without excess.
2. Engaging with the Cosplay Community -This year marked our debut at several cosplay conventions! We were thrilled to sponsor cosplay competitions and connect directly with the creative talents who bring characters to life. Setting up our first booths was a rewarding experience that allowed us to showcase our products and interact with the passionate cosplay community. We’re excited to continue supporting these events and growing our presence in the community. The feedback we've received by connecting 1 on 1 helps us develop new lines, provide better shopping options, and learn what the community really needs.
3. Faster Fulfillment Optional -To meet the demands of our customers, we introduced an expedited order fulfillment option during checkout. This feature ensures that if you’re in a hurry, your order gets priority handling for quicker shipping. We know how important timely delivery can be, especially for last-minute projects, and we’re committed to getting your fabric to you as fast as possible.
4. Find Your Color Card Faster - Finding the right fabric color has never been easier! We added a convenient collection of color cards to our store, helping you quickly locate the perfect match for your project. These color cards are designed to save you time and give you confidence in your choices.
5. Improved Solid Shaggy Faux Fur and Short Shag Faux Fur lines - We took the feedback from our customers and went back to the drawing board. We reformulated our popular Short Shag Faux Fur and Shaggy Long Pile Faux Fur lines to use softer and denser Japanese Acrylic. The result? A higher-quality product with enhanced texture and durability that’s perfect for a wide range of applications.
6. A New Website Experience - We’ve taken a big step forward by migrating our website to the Shopify platform. This transition has unlocked new ways for customers to shop, search, and find exactly what they need with ease. Our new site is faster, more intuitive, and designed to provide a seamless shopping experience.
As we move forward, we’re grateful for the continued support and trust of our customers. Each of these changes reflects our commitment to delivering the best products and services to inspire your creativity. Here’s to another year of innovation and collaboration at Big Z Fabric!
