As you saw on IG, I just got my hands on a copy of The Vogue Sewing Book (c.1970) and am glad to hear you've found it a good resource. :) Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02303837420300176952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22008807.post-65516536200869984352017-03-25T11:21:57.385-04:002017-03-25T11:21:57.385-04:00It is not unusual for fabric folded on a bolt to b...It is not unusual for fabric folded on a bolt to be out of grain. Roll up a magazine and see how the pages are skewed. If it comes off a roll and hasn't been folded first, it has a much better chance of not being off grain. I sell fabric for a living and I see it all the time. If I notice it is seriously cockeyed, then I add a bit extra to the purchase to be squared up. I learned in grade school sewing how to straighten the grain, but I seriously doubt that most new sewers have a clue, until their first pair off trousers have twisted legs and they wonder why. Beautiful job on the culottes, btw. <br />Barbbbarnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399421440007975826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22008807.post-9301222443117148032017-03-24T13:31:24.449-04:002017-03-24T13:31:24.449-04:00I guess that I will be first.

I would be furious if I ordered fabric and it was this much off grain. Yes, you managed to fix it but how many would even know that it needed to be fixed. Those new to sewing would not have a clue. sissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15542240635890046026noreply@blogger.com
