NOW it finally makes sense. I wish they would have mentioned the stretchiness before, as it's what really made it sink into my head better than "weft." Thank you!

Your "visual" explanations are so helpful. Thank you!

I am not in anyway a seamstress, but am simply down a clothing fabric rabbit hole mid-online window shopping. My mind is absolutely blown by your explanation. SO interesting, so concise, and so cogent. Thank you!

This is one of the best explanations of grain and its relationship to fabric drape that I've seen. Thanks! :)

Such a great video! Thanks for the thorough explanation 🙏🙏

Thank you for the reminders! It's been quite awhile since I've gotten my sewing machine out and I've forgotten these sorts of things.

Hi Melissa, It is one thing to love to teach, it is a completely different thing to know "how to" teach and you are an amazing teacher!!!! The first video that I saw only a month ago was that of a zipper pouch. How you make such challenging tasks so simple with the wonderful tips and very neat and clean job, it's absolutely amazing and very motivating. It's like you pull off that stress or insecurity inside an amateur's mind. This video is another example of how knowledgeable and passionate you are about what you do. Not only does it show, but also transmits (albeit through a video) to the viewer. Thank you!!!

Thank you very much for explaining it so thoughtfully.

What a well done video!! I've never understood weft/warp and the grains, and now I feel like I do! Thank you SOOO much!!

Best tutorial ever

Great explanation and great choice of fabrics! Many thanks!

OMG you are the BOMB!!! I finally now understand this grain stuff!! I cant thank you enough ! you deserve a pair of ANGEL WINGS because you now are my own personal ANGEl!! I love you!! thank you so much!!!!

As a weaver who wants to use handwoven fabric to sew simple clothing, this is great knowledge to have, thank you!

The best video explaining the grain line

Thanks so much, first time I’ve understood it!!

I finally feel like I understand fabric grain. Thank you so much! Especially useful is the stretch test because I am frequently trying to use recycled fabric where there is no factory selvage left. I will definitely be using stretch to test grain vs cross-grain in the future.

You helped me out a lot . I made I made out cards to stick to my wall to help remind me .

Excellent Video. Thanks.

You’re such a good teacher 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

How do you find these grain lines in remnant fabric? Or in sheets? When the selvedge is missing? This is the best tutorial! I have always wondered why you couldn't use cross grain vs grain line. The visuals of the drape were brilliant!

Thank you for your explanations!

Someone has just turned the light on, thank you

This was so much help!! Thank you!

Awesome! Tks Melly

Thank you 😊

Is it better to sew in straight grain for tennis skirts?

What pattern did you use for you blouse? Very cute outfit
