The fabric probably stretched at that point. Wet it and press it straight. Ripping should give straight of the grain lines, but sometimes the fabric will stretch. Best to rip across the fabric rather than down, but at least it was done quickly. I'm sure you can fix this when you get ready to sew the borders on.

Is it something I did during the ripping process? I'd sure appreciate some input on this. I was really excited about doing it this way cause it sure seems like I can't cut through more than one fold without getting the dreaded "V." Thanks!
