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.'' —
