I know weight of fabric means X amount of the fabric weighs X ounces, or rather, I assume that. Makes sense. Paper works the same way as I understand it. 24lb paper means X sheets/reams/etc weighs 24 pounds (I think it's for 2000 sheets, not positive).

So, how much area for weight of fabric? Or if I'm completely off base, someone clue me in ;)

Thanks!
