How to use our Shopping Assistant

Our assistant can take you to exactly what you're looking for. It can show you only our pink spotty fabrics with doves on if you ask it nicely!

But it isn't an ordinary search engine.

You can't type in phrases. If you want to do that, use the search box on the
Departments Page.

 

Here's how to proceed:-

First, decide what kind of product you're looking for. Select it from the PRODUCT TYPE box.
Let's say you're interested in searching our huge fabrics collection - select FABRIC YARDAGE.

If you're interested in a particular pattern type or colour theme, then select them from those boxes too.
Let's say you chose PINK and FLORAL.

Finally, if you want to narrow your search even further, type in a keyword which describes what you're interested in
Let's say you want roses. Type ROSE.

The Shopping assistant will now trot off and return you a list of all the fabrics which matched your selection!

Here are more hints to get the best from our new employee.

1. Be careful with your spelling - SEASUCKER and CELETIAL are not going to find you anything.

2. We don't currently list the manufacturer in our products database - so looking for MODA won't find anything either.

3. Use the PATTERN box to select your pattern. If you type PLAIN in the keyword box, you will not find what you are looking for.

4. Chop your keywords as short as you dare.
For example, to find find teddy bears, enter TEDD - which will find TEDDIES and TEDDY, and TEDDYBEARS. Similarly, use singulars - not plurals (ROSE - not ROSES)

The broader your search, the longer it will take to build the swatches page. A very large page might take up to three minutes to build.
