I just make sure it is straight with the sides every time I roll it and that works for me.

I really enjoy making sewing machine covers. They are fun, don't need a lot of fabric, and make great gifts, too. I posted pics and instructions in a web album. I'd post them all here, but the QB website has been giving me fits the last few days. So, I hope the link to my Picasa album works.
