Title says it all. Which do you prefer to work with more? What do you think a re the pros and cons of either method? Personally I like the bias cut because of the roll, but don't like the amount of canvas it uses up, which straight cut has the advantage of.
Discuss... :D
Don't think I have ever cut a bias canvas. But from other experience I can say that what looks to be an advantage in one particular area can be a real problem in another.
I had a colleague talk about cutting a backing for dance trousers on the bias and it was a disaster long term because the fabric and the backing worked against each other. Where the centre back of the fabric had give the backing had none.
So I would carefully consider whether not matching the grain of the fabric to the canvas would cause potential problems.
Waist coat canvas (linen) is cut on the bias. But that is very different from a coat.
More bias the softer the coat.
A bankers coat canvas straighter.
Golf coat bias. You could eliminate the haircloth, too. Darts?
I know too that you do a waistcoat with a bias interface, Schneiderfrei.
I did not see it used with other coats.
