Considering that the cardboard is also included in that... there is at least 25% less material by weight in the 75x75. I asked if the different fabric was chosen as a cost-saving measure and that's when I was told that the 75x75 actually costs the maker more.
Wow, that's a significant difference isn't it! On your scale of fabric weights, does that still qualify as medium?
It's not the same as what we've become accustomed to as "medium"... so I really can't call it that.
But this is becoming a rather complicated issue! And I'm going to have to become more knowledgeable about all the different kinds of greige goods that the fabric companies are printing on.
Until I acquire that knowledge... well, I shall call these ones "Printed on 75x75 cloth." It's the best description that I have at this point.
