Question

Arrange the following steps to straighten a slightly off-grain fabric in the correct order.
(A) Fold the fabric lengthwise.
(B) Pin the selvedges together.
(C) Lay the fabric flat.
(D) Iron from the selvedges to the fold.

• A. (B), (C), (A), (D)
• B. (A), (C), (D), (B)
• C. (C), (A), (D), (B)
• D. (C), (A), (B), (D)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To correct a fabric with a slightly misaligned grain, follow these steps in the specified order:

(C) Position the fabric horizontally: Initially, extend the fabric smoothly on a flat area for inspection and manipulation.

(A) Fold the fabric along its length: Create a fold running the length of the fabric to aid in grain alignment.

(B) Secure the parallel edges: Fasten the parallel edges (the finished borders of the fabric) together to maintain alignment and prohibit further displacement.

(D) Press from the parallel edges towards the fold: Conclusively, press the fabric from the parallel edges towards the fold, ensuring any misaligned fabric is straightened and properly oriented.

The correct sequence is (4) (C), (A), (B), (D).
