Think of it like thread count in bedding.  The standard thread count for bed sheets is 180 threads per inch, with 300-600 thread count being considered as an ideal range for durability.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOxford fabric is known for it's tensile strength, resistance to tearing and abrasion. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWaterproof Oxford's characteristics:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- No pre-washing required, but also probably no washing in general required as you can just wipe this fabric clean.  \u003cbr\u003e- You don't need to interface it (unless your pattern calls for mega structure).  It's a woven fabric with no stretch, and it has a solid white polyurethane backing that gives it a medium weight that holds its shape well.   \u003cbr\u003e- You can iron it on a low setting to remove any folds or creases.\u003cbr\u003e- It's thin, doesn't fray, and can be sewn on a domestic with a new \u003cstrong\u003e80\/12 Microtex needle\u003c\/strong\u003e and polyester or nylon thread.\u003cbr\u003e- It's non-directional, meaning you can turn it which ever way you want when placing your pattern pieces on it (unless the print itself is directional, that is.)\u003cbr\u003e- It's waterproof! You can make make-up bags, pencil cases, backpacks and luggage bags, outerwear (think human or dog raincoats), place mats, beach totes, lunch bags, diaper bags, reusable sanitary napkin pouches.... \u003cbr\u003e- I'd recommend using mini-clips rather than pins, unless you pin inside the seam allowance, if you are making something designed to be waterproof. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWPO comes in pre-cut in 18\" (half yard) lengths, with a possible 1\/2\" variance from one end to the other.  The WOF (width of fabric) is approximately 56\".  (46cm x 140cm)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atelier Fiber Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62404774101048,"sku":"WPO-CHBLSM","price":18.7,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1395\/0747\/files\/Cherry_Blossom_Single_Repeat_WPO.png?v=1793295494","url":"https:\/\/www.atelierfiberarts.com\/fr\/products\/waterproof-oxford-cherry-blossom","provider":"Atelier Fiber Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
