I'm wondering if it is possible to rotate the grainline if needed? For bias cut for example or to rotate it 90degrees. I did not found any tool and the usual rotate-tool did not work.

Hello, The grainline itself cannot be changed and will always remain horizontal. However, you can achieve a bias cut or a different grain direction by rotating the pattern piece using the Rotate tool (as shown in the attached image).
