Depends on what you are sewing. It will work though. I’d recommend a non-stretch woven underlining to support that stretch and keep it in place.

I would like to cut against the grain so the stripes are vertical. Will this cause a problem?. The fabric has some stretch- 2 way stretch with horizontal stripes

I’ve made lots of plain curtains over the years. Although it is tempting, I would highly recommend cutting the curtain length with the grain line and not on the cross as the panel has a big risk of stretching out off-grain over time. Especially with linen, which is prone to stretching over time. Good luck with your curtain project!

I would save a great deal of fabric if I could make them on the cross-grain, but I’m not sure if this is a good idea.

Oh no! Yes, I think many of us have learned about napped and directional fabrics this way. 😉
