A tailor needs three pieces of fabric 1.68 yards long 1.5 yards long and 1.26 yards long. Estimate how many yards of material he should buy to the nearest yard.?

1.68 + 1.5 + 1.26 = 4.44. To the nearest yard, this is 4 yards but that would be of little use. He needs 5 yards, and the question should refer to the least number of whole yards rather than the "nearest yard".

Glue can be used on fleece. A straight pins are needed to put the two pieces of fleece or material together. Carefully remove one pin and pull apart the two material pieces and place a small dot of fabric glue. Replace the pin or secure with a binder clip. Repeat this process for each pin that was originally used. The glue must have time to soak into the fabric and bond the pieces together. It is best to let it sit for twenty-four hours. After this time remove a pin or binder one at a time and gently tug on the two pieces. If they pull apart repeat the above process.

The way the fabric is woven gives it different properties in different directions. When you are cutting a pattern you want to get all the pieces on the same "grain", i.e. a piece that will be vertical on your body should not be cut diagonally on the peace of fabric (unless you cut all the pieces diagonally or on the bias). The grain of the fabric is the natural direction of the fabric. The selvage is the edge of the fabric. When you buy a piece of fabric from the roll, you get two cut edges that fray and two factory edges that look different from the rest of the fabric and don't fray. These edges are the selvage. If the grain of the fabric runs from selvage to selvage that means the natural direction of the fabric (that you should use to line up your pattern pieces) runs straight across the fabric from factory edge to factory edge.
