The trick is to pin both ends, then at the half and quarter points. Then sew very slowly, and adjust your fabric every few stitches. If you have a knee lift to lift your presser foot without taking your hands off the fabric (Bernina machines have these, I don't know about any other brand), it is a little easier. You'll swear it takes forever to sew one, but you'll find that as you do more, it gets easier and faster.
