Properly stretched fabric won't ___.

• A. Sag
• B. Shrink
• C. Hang
• D. Sag or hang

Answer: (D)

When fabric is properly stretched, it is under consistent tension that pulls it taut across the supports. This taut condition resists gravity and any slack in the material, so the fabric stays straight rather than drooping. That’s why properly stretched fabric won’t sag or hang. Shrinkage isn’t the direct outcome of the initial stretch—fabric can shrink later due to moisture or heat—while sagging or hanging are the issues that proper tension prevents. So the effect of correct stretching is a taut, flat fabric with no sag or downward droop.
