What is crosswise grain of fabric?

Crosswise grain is the threads that run perpendicular to the selvage of the fabric or the cut edge of the fabric as it comes off the bolt. The bias has stretch in woven fabric and will hang differently than a garment that has been cut on the straight or crosswise grain.

What does selvage mean in sewing?

A selvage is the tightly woven edge of a fabric. It prevents the side edges of the fabric from raveling or fraying. The selvage, because it’s densely woven, is sturdier than the rest of the fabric, so it can be more difficult to sew through.

What pattern should be laid out first?

Grainlines

Tell you what direction your pattern piece should be placed on your fabric. Your grain line is always parallel to the selvage. If your pattern piece should be lay lengthwise, crosswise or on the bias, the grainline will tell you (as well as the layout guide).

What is partial fold?

What is off center lengthwise fold?

Off Center Lengthwise Fold This fold is useful when the pattern pieces are too wide for a lengthwise fold. To make this fold, spread open the fabric; refold on a line at right angles to the selvages in the direction of crosswise threads. To cut narrow patterns pieces on fold, this layout is very useful.

Such ‘geometric growth’ effects are dramatic: in theory, 26 folds would make the paper thicker than the height of Mount Everest. The current world paper-folding record belongs to California high school student Britney Gallivan, who in 2002 managed to fold a 1.2km-long piece of tissue paper 12 times.
