I'm getting ready to make a pack bag from uncoated 1.9 ounce ripstop nylon.

Is the strength of the fabric the same crosswise as lengthwise? If not I want to take that into consideration in the construction. If it is I can just ignore it.

I've been ignoring the fabric direction for about 35 years now with 1.9 oz ripstop - no problems yet!

If you mean "not diagonal" then I believe so. It should be the same.
