Oh, that is SO true. It is so difficult when using striped fabric especially that has not been printed on the grain. You have to choose between using the straight of grain or the straight of the stripe/pattern. I hate it when that happens!
That has happened to me with some sale fabric from Joanns. What do you do then? Go for the grain and ignore the print or line up the print?
