Check that Print
Did you know that some fabric designs can be printed onto the fabric crookedly? This is
more common with cheaper fabrics, but expensive fabrics aren’t immune.
And trying to cut pattern pieces from a crooked print can be exasperating. Cutting with
the print can result in pieces that are off grain and a final garment that may not hang
properly. And cutting with the fabric grain can result in a print that looks skewed in your
finished item.
Therefore, before purchasing any print fabric, unroll a length of it first to make sure the
design has been printed on grain.
