Here is a neat illustration of why you should use straight of grain.
The top is from Hennes, rayon lycra for $10. I don't have to hang *my* head in shame. But it's super cute and easy to wear, in spite of the twist.
Btw, this is the first time I've had something so badly cut from Hennes, even though they're a cheap end shop.
Oh gosh, that really does illustrate the importance of the grain line doesn't it? I was just trying to explain this to someone today as I was helping her lay out a pattern on fabric. I think I'm going to have her look at this photo as a visual.
