They are not rolled on the bolt straight and I have to square up the back anyways. I rotary cut everything else and prefer that when purchasing.<br />Cute little quilt, Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12037415376456508137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438365453461518634.post-24270721430938150442013-04-17T23:37:41.868+10:002013-04-17T23:37:41.868+10:00I do think tearing is truer to grain but I hate se...I do think tearing is truer to grain but I hate sewing those fringy edges.Carol Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846301646769655933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438365453461518634.post-80438855359413978352013-04-17T22:27:42.856+10:002013-04-17T22:27:42.856+10:00Most of the time I cut but the two times I tear ar...Most of the time I cut but the two times I tear are:<br />1) When I am using a directional print and NEED to be sure exactly how the pattern is lined up across the direction I am cutting. I've had instances where directional prints were not printed on-grain or the "hang the fabric" method of determining the straight grain resulted in the prints not running straight. <br /><br />2) When taking off the selvedges of two pieces of fabric to be joined for a quilt backing. I got this tip from Nadine Ruggles of the Dreamweavers blog. She said that she found that tearing the fabrics edges to be joined makes the seam lie flatter and I found that to be true.<br /><br />I usually don't prewash but will occasionally test a fabric before using if I think it might run later.Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17845920248231910491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438365453461518634.post-51711435129683956112013-04-17T19:52:53.949+10:002013-04-17T19:52:53.949+10:00oh this is adorable love this quilt

I haven't seen any of the shops I go to do any tearing.
