Looking closely at a square of fabric, you will see a thread that runs vertically and a thread that runs horizontally, this is galled the grain of the fabric.
Bias cut fabric is fabric that is cut diagonally to the grain. In other words, if you cut off a corner and then cut another strip at the same diagonal, say 2 1/2 inches wide, you will have a bias cut fabric. this strip of fabric can then be folded taking both outer edges toward the center and then folded again in half. It can be used to finish anything from blankets, quilts garments etc. as it is very bendable and pliable because it stretches as a result of being cut on the bias.

The answer will depend on the width of the fabric and also on how much fabric is required for the garment and whether or not that is along the bias.

As a verb: Revealing the witness' background could bias the testimony for the jury.
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.
How do you machine sew a hand knitted sweater?

What is a bias mark in a fabric?
Fabric cut on the bias has more stretch than fabric cut on the straight of grain. For this reason, bias tape easily fits around corners and curves. To make yards and yards of continuous bias tape, lay out fabric and cut off one end at a 45-degree angle. Sew this cut piece to the other end. See Diagram #1. On the reverse side of the fabric, mark off the desired bias tape width parallel to the 45 degree edge. (Diagram #1 shows five strips but mark as many as your fabric will allow.) Place the two lengthwise edges right sides together and offset both ends the desired width of the finished tape. For example, for 1-1/4" tape, offset piece #1 and #5 (shown in Diagram #2) 1-1/4". Sew a 1/4 " seam along the length of the fabric creating a spiraled piece of fabric. Cut along the marked lines in the spiral starting at the line between #1 and #2 and continue to the end. To figure how much bias tape you will get out of a piece of fabric: (1) Measure your piece of fabric that you are going to be cutting your bias strips from. (2) Now multiply the measurement of the fabric by itself to get the squares inches of the area. (3) Then divide the squares inches by the desired width of the bias strip. For Example : Square = 12" So 12 x 12 = 144 square inches Bias Tape Width = 2" Therefore, 144 / 2 = 72 " of 2" wide bias strips from a 12" square
