FAQs & Store Policies
Cut Sizes
All cut goods in our online store are sold in HALF METRE units.
Please take care when adding fabric, widebacks, interfacing, batting and stabilizer to your cart.
Examples:
- If you need a 1/2 metre, add 1 unit to your cart.
- If you need 1.5 metres, add 3 units to your cart.
Your desired quantity will be cut in one continuous length.
METRE VS YARD
A metre is approximately 39 inches, therefore it is about 3 inches longer than a yard.
If you are ordering 1/2 a metre (one unit), you will receive approximately 20 inches. In other words, each "unit" of cut goods we sell is approx 20 inches. Please call the store if you have any questions or concerns.
SPECIFIC CUT SIZE
If you need a specific cut size, it is better to call Country Concessions and we will process your order using our InStore system and will ask for your credit card number. Call the store at 705-458-4546.

We try to pull your order within a day or two of receiving it. But sometimes it takes longer.
Some circumstances that will affect timing, include:
- if the store is very busy serving in-person shoppers,
- if we are offering a special and it is popular!
- if we receive your order at the beginning of a multi-day holiday when staff are away, or
- if some goods become out of stock and we need to wait for stock to arrive.
We are always making process improvements to fulfill orders as fast as possible.
