    It is most important when using a fabric with nap or one-way design that your pattern pieces are always cut in the same direction.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    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.

    Explanation
    The statement suggests that fashion is a recent phenomenon that emerged in the 20th century. However, this is not true. Fashion has existed for centuries, with different trends and styles evolving over time. From ancient civilizations to the Renaissance era, people have always expressed themselves through clothing and accessories. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    Shirring is the correct answer because it refers to parallel rows of gathering made with shirring elastic which is placed in the bobbin. This technique is commonly used in sewing to create decorative or functional gathers in fabric. The other options listed, such as selvedge, shank, tuck, top stitching, and vent, do not involve the use of shirring elastic or parallel rows of gathering.
