FAQ:

► Selvedge is an edge produced on woven fabric during manufacture that prevents it from fraying and unravelling. [Oxford Languages]
► Fabrics measured by length are measured down the selvedge and then cut across the width at right-angles, regardless of the width of the fabric. (Except for fabrics cut on the bias.)”
► To cut a Fat Quarter: (i) cut a full half-metre of the fabric; (ii) measure along the width to halfway and then cut vertically up (or down). No rule applies about whether to include the selvedge.

...

► Different dyes affect the length, thickness and twist of fibres, so yarn thicknesses and fabric widths vary with colour.
► Shot fabrics are woven or dyed so that different colours show up at different angles of sight.  For example, the warp
threads may be of shiny metallics, the weft threads may be luscious silks.
► Tussore silk is a fabric woven from Tussah silk. [Collins English Dictionary]
