Cutting Lengthwise Grain Borders and Binding | Rotary Cutting | AccuQuilt

Sometimes I like to use the same fabric for the outer border and the binding. I also like to cut my borders along the lengthwise grain. Depending on the size of the border, there will be  a chunk of fabric leftover. I love to make scrap quilts so this doesn't bother me.

Why Lengthwise Cuts?

The lengthwise grain runs parallel to the selvage. It is stronger and stretches less than the crosswise grain which runs from selvage-to-selvage. The lengthwise grain gets it's strength from the warp threads which are continuous along the length of the fabric. The weft threads are the shorter threads which are woven across the warp threads.
