Description
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. Drape your pattern and you’ll see exactly where it moves, before you cut a thing: where it pulls, where it twists, and where the grain drops off true. You fix the pattern on screen, not on a sample.
- Straight grain: runs with the warp. Keep it vertical.
- Cross grain: a line at 90°. Watch where it dips.
- Bias: an 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.
