Just a note/comment. fabrics are wet printed today and are NOT printed straight on the grain of fabric. I don't tear as I found years ago that in the process of tearing it does distort"damage" the grain for several inches from tear. With Rotary cutters we can use our wonderful runlers and get very accurate cuts. I too remember having fabric measured and torn, but then took it home and had to straighten it out before cutting.
