I went through the first few pages in here and tried a search but no joy. I saw references of Calendared 's. Non-Calendared fabric and Ripstop. What are the differences and/or advantages? I didn't see a glossary on the rbtr page.

(and is it so bad I'm looking to take a sewing class just to make hammocks and stuff sacks? I wonder if my old Singer Future 920 still works!)
From their FAQ page https://ripstopbytheroll.com/pages/faq
"What is a "calendered" fabric?
Calendering is a process by which fabric ran through hot, heavy rollers at the mill. This flattens the fabric, seals the weave, and leaves one side of the fabric shiny while the other is matte/dull in appearance. This process is done to make the fabric downproof, increase wind resistance, and improve hand feel."
Definitely not!! A class is a great idea, I really should sign up for one myself!!
How the Heck did I miss that? Thanks!
