What do you do when pattern says lay on selvedge?

When a pattern indicates to "lay on selvedge," it means that the edge of the fabric (the selvedge) should be aligned with the cutting line of the pattern piece. This is done to ensure that the grain of the fabric runs parallel to the selvedge, which helps maintain the fabric's stability and drape. Make sure to position the pattern piece appropriately, allowing for any notches or markings to align correctly. After laying it out, double-check that you have enough fabric to cut the entire piece while adhering to this guideline.

How do you use the grain line arrow to place pieces on the fabric?

The grain line arrow is to be placed parallel to the selvedge. Measure the end of the line to the selvedge, pin. Then make sure the other end of the arrow is the same distance from the selvedge and pin. This process is extremely important. If your garment is not cut 'on the grain', it wont hang properly, it won't be comfortable - you'll always feel 'off' when wearing it, but you won't know why, so you just won't wear it. Never skip this step of laying out your pattern, and never eyeball it. Measure it.

Cross grain binding has a little more flexibility. If your borders are cut on the straight of grain, cross grain binding is a good choice.
