Advice on marking straight and bias when making patterns from other clothes

Hi there,
I recently watched the Kenneth D King on how to copy an item by making a pattern from it ( video section of threads……………evening cape)
Kenneth says to mark the CB with thread basting; fine with that, but then goes on to say you should mark the straight and bias on each piece. How do I do this correctly??
I am ok on doing this on drafting from scratch, but want to ensure I do this correctly when “copying” from an actual item.
Thanks in advance for any answers that guide me through this.

Has a SNAFU happened here? To my memory this ISO was posted earlier in March & received applicable replies. Is repeating in order? Can we somehow do a search to calrify?

ETA - maybe my Senior Brain is recalling part of the previous post. It might have been another member. I'm still working at locating former messages.

ETA - Again - So I scrolled. Under Recent Discussions, I opened General Discussion. The previous replies were there. Which has me wondering if smockerlady missed them. If the member reads this might there be a try to find the other replies?
