you can read about my fiasco with those folks around the board but let me emphasize this little nugget..
they repeatedly sent my upholsterer SIMILAR pattern material for the center panels after sending me the actual correct sample in the beginning..
see post above of a remnant of the actual correct material it took me over a year to get from them..
and yes, the ivory stripe is sewn in separately..
good luck!
here it is finally installed;
