Re: How to Place Pattern Pieces Straight on the Grainline

Thanks - that was a great explanation of many of us "sewers" feel & go about finding out the "how-to's" of sewing.
I always get asked how do you know which end is the selvage; my memory sometimes leaves me on this subject when the selvage is cut off; but after a bit of trial & error I find the grainline. I never truly understood why the grainline was so critical to fit, but it does make sense if you consider the task. Appreciate the tutorial since I was having a senior moment to find the grainline/selvage before I cut a piece of beautiful skirt fabric.
