wether you wash or not, you can end up with off-grain fabric. whenever i fold, this is what i do. cut or torn, if the weave started out off-grain, you still have to straighten it out. i do it across my bed when i do long lengths.

thanks!

thanks. I was just going to wash some fabric and now know how to get the fabric on grain.

I'm so glad to know this. Makes it really easy to straighten fabric before cutting.

Thanks for sharing this is good information to know.

that is the way i do it also. great tutorial!

That was great and I'm so glad you posted it for us.

That is the one thing I remember from 8th grade home ec class!

Another great idea Crafty, thanks.

Thanks so much for posting this! I'm still not sure why I need to care about it but since she's made it so easy I'll follow it.

Thank You :lol: Very Easy (sew a lot at night - so I need easy).

Thanks I viewed this and also the one she had on triangles on stripped fabric. What is her lesson 2 or any others she might have , do you know?

Nice info ....thanks for sharing!!

edit:
truing up the fabric
cutting a square
cutting a stripe

Sorry I haven't seen the second one. I'll look back through main and see if I can find it. Thanks for sharing. I found the posting and video. I made a reversible quilt from one of her patterns a couple of years ago. I like her methods. Thanks again. Gerbie

cutting stripes

hope this helps you.


gerbie, if you try to find it now, you'll be searching forever. the way to find something this old is to search my (or anyone's) name, click on my created posts, and then search down the list for what you want. click there.

the way to search a persons name is to click on the name right above their avatar.

Thank you, it's always good to have these reminders.

Thanks

Thanks butterfly, that's what I did was search your name. I found it last night. Thanks for sharing those three segments with us. I have view all three. Thanks bunches.

Same here. In fact she looks a lot like my 8th grade sewing teacher!
