Why shouldn't you tilt or angle a pattern piece to save fabric?

Also to add to my answer above. When fabric is cut from a bolt, the cut may not be straight. Uneven edges make it hard to check the straightness of the grain.

That is the bias. When you have a pattern that states "cut on bias" the pattern piece would be placed in a fastion that would be a "diagonal line against fabric grain".

What is the straight grain of fabric?
The way the fabric is woven gives it different properties in different directions. When you are cutting a pattern you want to get all the pieces on the same "grain", i.e. a piece that will be vertical on your body should not be cut diagonally on the peace of fabric (unless you cut all the pieces diagonally or on the bias). The grain of the fabric is the natural direction of the fabric. The selvage is the edge of the fabric. When you buy a piece of fabric from the roll, you get two cut edges that fray and two factory edges that look different from the rest of the fabric and don't fray. These edges are the selvage. If the grain of the fabric runs from selvage to selvage that means the natural direction of the fabric (that you should use to line up your pattern pieces) runs straight across the fabric from factory edge to factory edge.
