Magically, the fabric was then straightened. You might try this to see if you can straighten the fabric a bit - then the print might look better.
I'll have to be sure and remember this one. Thanks!
Be sure to pull across the narrowest diagonal, there are two to choose from. One will make it better, but pulling on the wrong one will make it worse.
