So many times in sewing we use terms that are only used when sewing. One by one we are going to explain what they mean, so when crafting, you will know what is being talked about.
Today's term is WOF - which stands for width of fabric. Sometimes, a measurement will be given, let's say it's 3"xWOF. This means you would take your selvage edge and measure in 3" and cut this all the way across the width of your fabric. So you would end up with a piece of fabric that measures 3"x45", if you are using 45" wide fabric.
So, this is what your cut piece might look like. You can see the folded edge on the right, and the selvage edge on the left. This would be great for a purse strap, scarf on a snowman, or for adding to a crock. It is often used in quilt making, when cutting patches. So now, when you side WOF, you know what the pattern is talking about.
