If your instructions say to "cut on the lengthwise grain" (or something like that), then you will cut the long way/lengthwise. In the case of a scrap, FQ, whatever, use the direction that has no stretch as the lengthwise.
If you are cutting a particular piece/shape of fabric, and one particular edge is to be cut on the lengthwise grain, then you cut that edge as if it is the lengthwise (non-stretchy) grain.
Does this help at all?
