Thing! to Know and Dd 137 Thisfs to RmMBbcf In woven goods the warp is the threads that go up and down and the woof is the threads that go across. A bias is a slanting cut across both warp and woof. Cotton goods can be torn after the selvedge has been cut, but linen should have a thread drawn and cut along that line to get the edge even. Ruffles should be cut crosswise of the goods, while bands or belts should be cut lengthwise, so as not to stretch. If a thread kinks, break it off and begin at the other end. In using spool cotton, thread the needle with the end that comes off first and it will not kink. Woven goods are made of spun yam, either of silk, wool, flax, cotton, hemp, or jute.
