How to get the accurate stretchability of fabric knitted
A "knit" fabric will stretch, either side to side and/or up to down, but a "woven" fabric will not stretch.
Woven fabric tends to have a fairly stable size, so you can measure it by length. Knitted fabrics tend to be very stretchy, so when you cut them they shrink in on themselves or they can be stretched during the cutting to give you less fabric than you thought you were getting. However, in most fabric stores, you will purchase both woven and knitted fabrics by the yard (length).
