To start, I briefly explain the other two grain lines, the straight grain line and the crosswise grain line. Then, I show you how to find the true bias directional grain line on fabric. I show you how to cut a bias strip and a sloper block on the true bias. Finally, I explain the benefits of the true bias for clothing and fashion design.

Very informational - I would like to make a tank style top on the bias of a woven fabric. I noticed you cut separate pieces for your front bodice and wondered if I can cut my bodice pieces on the fold? Having not ventured into bias cut projects, I would appreciate any guidance you may offer. Thank you.

[@susaneliascouture]

You can not accurately cut the bodice on the fold if you want to cut it on the bias. You must measure a perfect 45-degree angle line to place your front bodice piece on true bias. I hope that helps
