Determining grain direction
One way to determine the grain is to fold a sheet of paper lengthwise, then make a crosswise
fold. Cross-grain folds tend to be more rough and cracked as shown in the
Fold with and against
grain
figure.
Figure 1-1: Fold with and against grain
Another method you can use to determine the grain direction is to tear a sheet. Paper always
tears straighter with the grain. See the
Tear with and against grain
figure.
Figure 1-2: Tear with and against grain
You can also allow 4 inches (100 millimeters) of the short edge of a sheet and 4 inches (100
millimeters) of the long edge of a sheet hang over the edge of a table as seen in the
Hangs
lower with grain
figure. The sheet hangs lower (bends more) with the grain parallel to the table
edge.
