15. 2015, Vicky Grubb, The Beginners Guide to Upholstery'', David & Charles:

If you are upholstering a larger item, such as a sofa, its a good idea to see if the fabric you are buying can be railroaded. Railroading refers to being able to run the fabric from left to right, rather than the conventional top to bottom. For a fabric with a standard working width … you would have to create a seam to join the fabric to fit the width of the sofa, but when a pattern is railroaded you can turn it on its side and roll it out to the width of the sofa without join lines.'' —
