Practical guidance

Fabric weights determine drape, opacity, and warmth. Converting ensures you choose the right weight for your project regardless of how the supplier lists it.
Garment manufacturing
Production orders may specify fabric weight in one unit while suppliers stock in another. Converting prevents ordering errors and ensures consistency.
