  2. Bias tape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bias_tape

    Bias tape or bias binding is a narrow strip of fabric, typically plain weave, cut on the bias. As the weave of fabric is at a 45-degree angle, the resulting fabric strip is stretchier than a strip cut on the grain. The strip also has a better drape, and conforms to curves better than fabric cut on the grain. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrier-grid_animation_and...

    In barrier-grid animation, several images are cut into strips and interleaved. The barrier grid allows the strips from one of the interleaved images to be seen at a time. Movement of the grid relative to the interleaved image causes the viewer to see each of the images in succession.

  4. Seam (sewing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seam_(sewing)

    In a Hong Kong finish, a bias strip of fabric is cut to the width of the seam allowance plus 1 ⁄ 4 inch (0.6 cm). The bias strip is placed on top of the seam allowance, right sides together, and stitched 1 ⁄ 8 inch (0.3 cm) from raw edges. The bias strip is then folded over the raw edge and around to the underside and stitched in place.

  5. Grain (textile) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_(textile)

    The "bias-cut" is a technique used by designers for cutting clothing to utilize the greater stretch in the bias or diagonal direction of the fabric, thereby causing it to accentuate body lines and curves and drape softly. For example, a full-skirted dress cut on the bias will hang more gracefully or a narrow dress will cling to the figure.

    bias tape Bias tape or bias binding is a narrow strip of fabric, cut on the bias. The strip's fibers, being at 45 degrees to the length of the strip, makes it stretchier as well as more fluid and more drapeable compared to a strip that is cut on grain. Many strips can be pieced together into a long "tape."

  8. Fold-and-cut theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fold-and-cut_theorem

    The fold-and-cut theorem states that any shape with straight sides can be cut from a single (idealized) sheet of paper by folding it flat and making a single straight complete cut. [1] Such shapes include polygons, which may be concave, shapes with holes, and collections of such shapes (i.e. the regions need not be connected ).

  9. Cutting stock problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutting_stock_problem

    Cutting-stock problems can be classified in several ways. [1] One way is the dimensionality of the cutting: the above example illustrates a one-dimensional (1D) problem; other industrial applications of 1D occur when cutting pipes, cables, and steel bars. Two-dimensional (2D) problems are encountered in furniture, clothing and glass production.
