How To Keep Your Material Straight Woven fabrie have bath lengthwise and craeswise grain. The lengthwise grain is formed Sby the warp threads and the ~ ~ crosswiee grain ie formed by the S woof threade. In every pattern there are perforations which ehould be placed an an exact grain of the goods, and the S arment will neyer fit cor- rectly if these are ignored. If atrucebias is required in eut- ting it may be obtained by folding one corner of thec goods over s0 that the croe threads ;exactly parallel the vertical threads. It ie important ta alwaye straigbten the material before pinning a pattern ta it. Rather heavy fabries with warp and waof thrcads af the saine etrength may be torn ; straight across the grain by clipping the selvage and then using a quick motion that enaps the threads. If warp threads are heavier and stronger than t he woof, they wiii not snap and the materials will tear àn the wrong direction. It is aiea dangerous ta try ta tear very lightweight materials. If a material does not tear easily, draw a thread and cut &long the line thus made. Lay the naterial on the cutting table with the straightened end follawing the uine of the end of the table. If the selvage daee flot then exactly follow the straight edge of the side of the table stretch the goods by pulling it on the bias until the grain je parallel ta itLc table edges.
