When you discover your fabric is not straight on grain you can play tug of war diagonally corner to corner with it until it becomes straight.

Evie, that is really bad! It looks like you lost about 12 inches of usable fabric.
As a side note, I got back my quilt from the long armer, with regards to this question. Since I had to take a second backing (minky was not wide enough), I had to prepare a second backing while the top was at the long armers. I asked her not to trim the quilt, so I could see if the backing was completely square after long arming, (since i had ripped it and used selvage for perpendicular side). To my surprise, the backing was completely square! So this time, and for this fabric, ripping worked for squaring. I have to admit, I'm shocked..... |

For sure the weave is NOT always straight of grain. Photo attached of a wide backing I ripped. About a 12-inch difference between the edges! A name-brand fabric to boot. :p [ATTACH=CONFIG]532010[/ATTACH] |
