- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

When using a fabric with nap or a one-way design, it is crucial to cut the pattern pieces in the same direction. This is because the fabric's nap or design will have a specific orientation, and cutting the pieces in different directions can result in inconsistencies in the finished garment. By cutting the pieces in the same direction, the fabric's texture and design will align properly, creating a more cohesive and professional-looking final product.
