So visit is over. She meant you can't do much it is the handling of the fabric after weaving. If you have enough length you  fold the fabric on selvedge to selvedge and so that the grain in x-direction is Running parallel. This will give you a wobbly disturbed center. You smooth the fabric from the selvedge to the center fold. So you can use (1.60 meter folded = 0.80 m) about half of the width. Cut out the patterns in rough rectangles and with a good steam iron try to stretch. I will give it a try. Posaune

Hi Posaune,

This happens with industrial pieces a lot of times, although not as much as in you case. Here is a trick that we sometimes used for single sample making in casual styles. Fold your fabrick with the right side inward and stich the sides together, so it forms a tube. Now machine-rinse it then tumble it dry, and press it to form...

Cheerio, Hendrick

ps, weavers call the effect "skimming"
