What is a point ball?
It is a sewing machine needle that has a small ball at the tip, rather than the usual sharp point and is for used for stitching knitted or elasticated fabrics. As the ball enters the fabric, it pushes the fabric threads to one side rather than splitting them as a standard needle would and so is more "gentle". The holes that ball point needles leave in the fabric are larger than they would be with a standard needle, but because of the nature of knitted and elasticated fabrics, the holes become reasonably well hidden.

Woven fabric tends to have a fairly stable size, so you can measure it by length.

However, in most fabric stores, you will purchase both woven and knitted fabrics by the yard (length).
