Do you cut the lining on the bias as well? How would
cutting on the bias affect the rest of the sleeve, in
comparison to the "usual" on the grain cutting?
Also, do you cut your sleeves on the true bias or on a
slight bias? I'd prefer not to cut the sleeve on true
bias, mainly as that wastes a lot of expensive fabric
which can be used for other things.
