Welcome to our website. In the previous blog, we touched on the topic of density and told that it will depend on what is optimal to sew from a certain fabric. And today our magical girls from the fabric department share the secrets of how fabric density is determined.
So, in order to determine the density of the canvas, you will need scales, a tape measure and complex mathematical calculations.
Joke. Calculations are not complicated, there is actually a formula. And it looks like this:
M = g / (X*Y)
Where "M" is the density of the fabric
"g" is the weight of a piece of fabric in grams
"X" and "Y" are the length and width of the cut
Therefore, in order to calculate the density, it is necessary to weigh the cut on the scales. At the same time, note that it is extremely important that the scales are accurate and do not give an error.
Multiply the length by the width. Divide our grams by the obtained result. And that's all. You have the required number.
Pretty simple. In this way, you can find out the density of the terry cloth as well. For example, to understand whether the towel will be of good quality, etc.
In general, knowing the density of the canvas is important for many situations. Will not let you get lost when choosing fabric. Another thing is that you need this knowledge before you buy. So don't hesitate to ask us. We always respond promptly and are ready to provide professional advice on the choice.
