Cross grain binding has a little more flexibility. If your borders are cut on the straight of grain, cross grain binding is a good choice. It is probably the most common type of binding used as it is both easy to make and an economical use of fabric.
Bias binding is binding that is cut at a 45 degree angle from the selvedge.

When a sphere is cut with a vertical angled plane, the cross-section will be an ellipse. If the sphere is then cut by a horizontal plane, the cross-section will be a circle. Thus, the combination of these two cuts results in an elliptical cross-section from the angled cut and circular cross-sections from the horizontal cuts at various heights.
A circle.
If it cuts the wood along the direction of the grain into two pieces, it could be a slice, or a rip cut. The same separation into two pieces- but across the grain- would be called a crosscut. Of course, if said cut renders a channel, it would either be a dado or a groove, depending entirely upon it's relation to the direction of the grain.
You would cut off a corner.
Blanket binding that you purchase is cut on the straight grain and can only be used on straight edges. To bind curves, you must have bias binding.
Slice at a slant rather than a straight slice. Garlic bread is usually cut on the bias. Chinese vegetables, carrots, green onions are cut on the bias. To slice meat on the bias, slice at an angel, across the grain, rather than with the grain.
The word is "bias." It can refer to a form of prejudice or a fabric that is cut diagonally across the grain to have more stretch and flexibility.
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.
bias cutting is cutting on the diagonal of the grain at a 90 degree angle you have the weft and the warp and bias is the diagonal of that. usually the true bias,( where the weft and warp form an equalatrial triangle) runs through the vertical line that marks the centre front and back of the body. a bias cut dress is stretchy normally and it hangs much softer than a dress cut on the straight grain. newtest3
Tying up bundles of freshly cut wheat or other grain.
Is the binding cut on the bias (it should be) and have you used the correct thread. Sometimes the thread can shrink differently from the material being sewn.
"Cutting on the bias" means cutting fabric at a 45-degree angle to the straight grain. This technique allows the fabric to have more stretch and drape, making it more fluid and flexible compared to fabric cut along the straight grain.
A rip saw is a saw designed to cut with the grain, it generally has more aggressive teeth. A saw designed to cut across the grain is called a cross cut saw.
With the grain. A cross cut saw is for across the grain. A rip saw should have bigger teeth.
In woodworking, a cross cut is made across the grain of the wood, while a rip cut is made along the grain. Cross cuts are typically used to cut wood to length, while rip cuts are used to cut wood to width. Each type of cut requires different tools and techniques to achieve the desired result.
Looking closely at a square of fabric, you will see a thread that runs vertically and a thread that runs horizontally, this is galled the grain of the fabric. Bias cut fabric is fabric that is cut diagonally to the grain. In other words, if you cut off a corner and then cut another strip at the same diagonal, say 2 1/2 inches wide, you will have a bias cut fabric. this strip of fabric can then be folded taking both outer edges toward the center and then folded again in half. It can be used to finish anything from blankets, quilts garments etc. as it is very bendable and pliable because it stretches as a result of being cut on the bias.
