If you already have them, you can try stretching the fabric on the bias to straighten them out. This is old school technique that we were taught in Home Ec :wink:

If the pieces are fairly small, I would cut them so they look straight. If you are talking large squares or borders, I would probably cut them on the straight of grain. :D:D:D
Wow, I totally agree! I only buy these in person. I learned the same thing in Home Ec and do it to this day!! I won't use them in a quilt unless they are printed straight on the grain. LOL
