The Charles James Toile Grid

For CLO 3D

Charles James drew a grid on his muslin before he draped it. Afterwards he laid it back on the table and could see exactly where the fabric had moved: which seam had stretched, by how much, and where the grain had dropped.

This is that grid, as a CLO fabric.

  • Straight grain: the boldest line. Keep it vertical.
  • Cross grain: a solid line at 90°. Watch where it dips.
  • Bias: a dashed X through every square. It shows the stretch.

Drape it on any pattern and the toile tells you what the pattern is really doing, before anything is cut.
