I swear I'm going to loose it before I get this quilt done, I'm having issues with my flying geese and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I'm using a flying geese ruler from Fons and Porter, the first 4 I did no issues, now I'm measuring and remeasuring and everything looks fine. When I sew the first line and press it out they look distorted and I can't cut them to be straight or they are no longer the right size. I'm not using any steam on the iron, I'm using startch like I normally do - could it be I'm not using enough startch to keep the fabric from spreading out when I iron it?

If I force them to work then they don't line up with the points on the stars properly
