Hello, fashion sellers. In this tutorial I'm going to be showing you how to square off knitted fabrics and collying glee and this is fashion sewing blog. The tools I'm going to need are a table chock, scissors and an L-shaped ruler. If you don't have an L-shaped ruler you can use a set square. Now you place the ruler along the fold of the fabric and I'm going to mark along here. Now, before I go any further, now with knit fabric you tend to find that it will roll. Knit fabric doesn't fray, but it can ladder depending on what type of knit fabric you're using, but it does tend to roll. This is what I want to get rid of. It's quite difficult in comparison to woven fabric to find the grain. With the woven fabric you can always remove the weath and then you can find a true grain there. But with knit it's slightly different. We've got a right angle here. I just go here and then I'm just going to gently just chalk to where I actually want my fabric to go. Try not to stretch the fabric as you're actually marking. And then just go along there. And hopefully you can see that. If not I am. And then I'm going to cut along there. I've started to cut away the fabric there and now I've got a straight edge in which to work too. Now as you can see there isn't such a thing as selfish on knitted fabrics. But I've managed to find the straighten of the grain and as you can see they're not matching up and that is because I've managed to straighten the grain within the fabric itself. And that's what you probably need to do. And then once you've achieved that then it's a case of cutting this away. I've got this way. There we go. And then I've got a nice straight edge in which to place my pattern pieces on. So that's what you call wearing off knitted fabrics. I hope you found that useful and I hope you haven't confused too much because what I want to get across here is that when you're cutting out knitted fabric as opposed to woven fabric it is a lot easier with woven fabric because it's just a case of removing the wet. What with knitted fabric is all about eye really. As long as you can see where the grain is, the lengthwise grain is going and you fold the fabric so you don't stretch the fabric and you make the placement from edge to edge which is like the selfish part of the fabric then it will make the whole process a lot easier. And we use it to square enough because it's making sure that you've got a right angle to your fabric. So the best tool would be to use is an L-shet ruler or a set square or even you know an angle piece of paper that has got straight edges of course. Okay that's it. I like to thank you for listening and I'll see you in my next video.
