This is a good way to straighten fabric. Hold the fabric, selveges together in the air in front of you, now look at the fold...if it is cooked, slide the fabric in your hands to the left or right, move only the front side until the fold is straight. Now place on cutting board and line up your ruler with the fold and cut the edge to straighten it.
