Denise, usually I take close care on aligning the selvage edges of the fabric, and I thought this would make me fold in the right position (is my English understandable?).
Very interesting what you said about "let fall naturally"! TY
:thumbup:
I found that, especially after washing, my material it is a little wonky. By letting it find its natural fold (when folding selvedge to selvedge), its on the grain (then you can see how much its shrunk LOL). I just even it up and good to go. I've had this ruler for OMG many many years and if it ever broke I'd be running out to get another one.
