should I be concerned with the fact that they materials are 2nds? How bad could they actually be?
Thanks for the heads up on the black silnylon. Pics of tarp made from this sil below. This one is for a hiking friend. I made his first for the practice. Now I get to make mine
looks excellent! Can't wait to make mine My fabric should be here this week.
material is 65" wide. Usable part about 64" after trimming selvage
Interesting my Cantalope colored was 68".
I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.
"Bless you child, when you set out to thread a needle don't hold the thread still and fetch the needle up to it; hold the needle still and poke the thread at it; that's the way a woman most always does, but a man always does t'other way."

I agree but one end of this material has over 1/2" of selvage that was not sewable. I was rolling 3/8" grosgrain in the hem so I had to trim. The other end was usable almost all the way to edge.If you are making a tarp there is no reason to trim off the selvages. Simply stitch them into the hem/seam. Helps stabilize the fabric.
probably how it got into the 2nds bin...
