To achieve a clean and precise diagonal cut when working with fabric, use sharp fabric scissors and a ruler to guide your cut. Make sure the fabric is flat and smooth before cutting, and take your time to ensure a straight and accurate cut along the diagonal line.
To achieve precise and efficient results when cutting fabric with a rotary cutter, make sure to use a sharp blade, a cutting mat underneath the fabric, and a ruler or cutting guide to ensure straight lines. Hold the cutter firmly and use a smooth, continuous motion to cut through the fabric. Take your time and practice to improve your cutting skills.

Twill is fabric that has a diagonal pattern. It is actually woven in such a way as to create diagonal "ribs" in the fabric itself (not just colored diagonal lines). Think of cordoroy - that is a fabric with a vertical (up and down) pattern woven into it. Twill is diagonal weaving. If a twill fabric has extra "give" so that it can expand (stretch), it is a stretch twill. Stretch twill often refers to the fabric having a small percentage of lycra/spandex in it, usually 2-4%.
To achieve a clean and precise cut on fabric using the rolling cut technique, make sure to use a sharp rotary cutter and a cutting mat. Place the fabric on the cutting mat, hold it firmly in place, and then use the rotary cutter to roll smoothly and evenly along the desired cutting line. Avoid applying too much pressure and make sure to keep the blade perpendicular to the fabric for a clean cut.
The easiest way to identify a twill weave is if the fabric appears to have a diagonal "texture"- this is caused by the offset of weft and warp threads when the fabric is woven (for example, over once, under twice. As opposed to over once, under once as a normal weave). The grain of the fabric is not actually diagonal, but the twill weave gives it that appearance.
In twill-weave fabric the crossings of weft and warp are offset to give a diagonal pattern on the fabric surface. It's strong, drapes well and is used for jeans, jackets and curtains.
To ensure precise measurements when creating a fabric cut for your sewing project, use a sharp pair of fabric scissors, a clear ruler or measuring tape, and mark the fabric with chalk or fabric markers before cutting. Double-check your measurements before cutting to avoid mistakes.
To achieve a frayed edge on fabric, you can use a pair of scissors or a seam ripper to carefully pull out threads along the edge of the fabric. Be gentle to avoid tearing the fabric too much.
A ribbed fabric is a fabric with intervening raised lines or ribs. Ribbed fabrics may come in a variety of compositions including cotton, wool and silk.
That is the bias. When you have a pattern that states "cut on bias" the pattern piece would be placed in a fastion that would be a "diagonal line against fabric grain". Pattern pieces cut in this fashion are sometimes more difficult to sew because when fabric is cut on the bias it gives the cut edge more of a stretch.
