Can I just add a Caveat Emptor here ...
If you buy waxed fabric you will probably find a great big label (or three) stuck on the piece, as I did when i bought some a year or three back.
I tried and tried to get the label off with 'orrible results!
I later found that the way to remove this was to iron it off between absorbant paper (kitchen, roll?) because of course they stick the buggers on with WAX!
