and if the panel fabric is off-true, you end up with a diamond shaped cut. they never straighten out and stay straight. so when it's washed, it wants to go back where it was, and it pulls everything with it.
I always look to make sure that it is printed "straight enough" to suit be before I'll buy it.
WalMart cuts on the dotted line for panels - one side at a time. And charges by the panel.
