Straightening Fabric

• Straighten the cut ends
• of the fabric (Raw edges).
• Determine which
• end is longer and
• which is shorter.
• You can easily
• see that one side is an inch
• or so shorter than the
• other side.

15

• Make a small snip about 1/2? (1-2cm) down from
  the raw edge, and try tearing your fabric.
  (Youll know right away if it wont tear!)

16

• If its tearing, keep going until youve removed
  a strip of fabric from the edge. If your strip of
  fabric pulls off before youve made it all the
  way across, make another small snip about 1/2?
  (1-2cm) lower, and try tearing again.
