1. Lay your fabric in a single layer along a table – or a similar surface with a right-angle at the end – with the selvedge parallel with the edge of the table and the end of the fabric overlapping the end of the table.

3. Run a triangular piece of dressmaker’s chalk along the end of the fabric where it overlaps the edge of the table. You will have a dead-straight line!
