Thank you so much! I am a beginning sewer and have listened and watched several videos about squaring fabric and yours was just what I needed. You were clear, thorough, and I love how your video camera zoomed in so that I could what you were doing perfectly!! Thank you so much!

Never thought to measure the grainline on pattern to edge of fabric! Smart! Thanks so much.

THANK YOU! Squaring the fabric is the topic of intense discussion among my quilting friends. I always square my fabric just like you showed in your video. I’m always asked “what are you doing?” when cutting in front of others. They think I’m nuts …. I also always wash my yardage Another controversial topic. Thanks again for a great video.

Came to KZitem to find videos on this subject. I am completely new to sewing, and freeze when it comes to cutting anything. Bought my machine online and have had no lessons, only KZitem taught. I have wasted a lot of fabric not understanding how to cut squarely and then evenly. I completely followed your video until a clothing pattern came out and then my confusion came back. I will try again!

Thank you. Great video. But what if I want to cut a perfect square for a tablecloth and I don't have one of those fancy cutting tables? All I have is a carpenters square. ☹️

A kitchen table, utility table, kitchen counter, and even the floor are good options for a large, flat surface. A cardboard pattern cutting board is a great tool to lay on a table and give you a grid. However, you can't use a rotary cutter with it, only scissors. A yardstick works very well to extend the line from the carpenter's square if you don't have a grid. If you have a steel framing square you could use that too. For years, I used the kitchen table, cardboard pattern cutting board, and a yardstick with success.

Thank you so much your video helped me to understand how squares a fabric and linen up a pattern correctly 😊. Does this rule apply in knit and stretch fabric too? If not could you please make a video about it. Thank you 🙏

Gehan, that is a great question. If the fabric is woven but has a stretch to it, I use the methods described in the video to square it up. While I sew mostly with woven fabric, I have done a few garments with knit fabric. Knits do have a grainline but I don't square up knits like I do woven fabric. In this post theruffledpurse.com/easy-cardigan-sewing-pattern, locate the Table of Contents near the top of the post, and click on Find the Straight of the Grain to see how I located the grainline on the knit fabric to make the cardigan. For more detailed info, check out this post from the Sew Everything Blog. She does a good job of explaining how to locate the grainline for pattern placement on knit fabric. seweverythingblog.com/2018/11/15/basic-sewing-concept-grain-in-knit-fabric/ While these posts aren't videos, I hope they help you better understand working with grainlines on knit fabric. ~Nicki

Do these techniques work with twills and herringbone fabrics as well? I only learned the method where you pull a thread out entirely cross-grain and then cut along the space created.

I learned to square fabric with the pull-the-thread method but would frequently have the thread break and found it very tedious. After I learned the techniques I showed in the video, I've never gone back to pulling the thread. I've never tried it on herringbone but have used it successfully with knit fabric, corduroy, and denim (which is a twill weave). My gut is saying, "Yes, it will work," but my head is saying, "Test it to make sure." To test - pull the cross-grain thread, align the selvages, and adjust to eliminate any ripples. When you do, the edge you cut should be lined up. Hope that helps!
