It means that if you grab one end in each hand and stretch, it will stretch, but if you turn the fabric 90 degrees and grab and stretch, it won't. So if you made a shirt out of it, the shirt could stretch to side to side but not top to bottom.

Just trying to be very specific here, not trying to be a smart aleck, ok?
Cotton would be the fiber content and jersey knit is the style of knitting that was used to make the fabric. A one-way stretch means that it will only stretch in the one direction. That is a trait of jersey knit. It will stretch if you hold the selvage edges (the finished-off edges) of the piece of material straight from the bolt, but not the raw (cut) edges. This is the most common kind of knit, although there are some knits with a two-way stretch (well, actually three, since it is both sides and also bias, which is diagonally.)

One Way Stretch Fabric

It means the fabric will only stretch one way. Test the fabric first to see which direction has the stretch. Make sure you check the back of the pattern package, to see if the fabric will work when you lay out the pattern pieces.

just what it says, its like tshirt knits, its cotton, and its knit and it only streaches sideways, swimsuit and exercise clothing fabrics streach both sideways and lengthwise at one time. that way it has more give and wont tear the stitching and all when you move to the extreme.
