an oblique or diagonal line of direction, esp. across a woven fabric.
Fold the fabric on the diagonal so that one side edge is on the top edge. If you then cut along the shortest vertical edge, and unfold, you now have the largest square possible.

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%.
It is going down/up and right/left like this line is diagonal: /
A diagonal is when the hitter hits the ball in a diagonal direction. Hitters almost always do this because the corners are one of the toughest areas to cover.
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.
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.
