[QUOTE=kjc;4036994]OMG! Poor Ralphie! Hope he doesn't get a complex by the end of October! LOL! Seriously.... too cute!

The bias direction of a piece of woven fabric, usually referred to simply as "the bias", is at 45 degrees to its warp and weft threads.

ANOTHER TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE!!! I remember we used to have to "rip" the fabric before we got started....cant remember why we did it, but I think it had something to do with this bias thing...and then when you pulled that one string, you did indeed get a straight line across the piece of material! I inherited a portable Singer sewing machine that dates back BEFORE WWII that my aunt used to carry with her like a purse! She would see something she liked in a store window, go buy the material and whip it out and make that same dress or outfit in a couple of days!!!
