Re: 6" wide by 10" long

As it is now, the directions will say, for example:
Cut two rectangles, each 10" long by 15" wide.
I would like to cut the "long" and "wide," as they seem unnecessary to
me. Am I missing a reason for them to be there? Do they give information
that I haven't picked up on?

There's typically more stretch on the crossgrain than the lengthwise grain of
most fabrics, so if there is a need for stretch or stability, the
grain direction may be important.

However, "long" and "wide" don't mean a whole lot to me in this instance...
I'd sooner specify a 10x15" rectangle, lengthwise grain in the 15" direction.
But then you've got to explain grain...
