It is the mill-finish edge of a fabric which runs in a length-wise direction.
7. Bias is the diagonal direction across the two grain lines, wrap and weft.
8. True Bias makes an angle of 450 across the length-wise and crosswise grains. It has the greatest stretch
9. Grain of the fabric refers to the direction of yarns or threads in a fabric
10. The right side (RS) of the fabric is the side worn out it has better finish and more distinct print than
