Yes I agree. Also STARCH STARCH STARCH. You might want to use liquid starch - medium, the bottle will tell you the ratio of water to starch. Damp dry, iron cut material and then sitch one strip together starting one way and then stich the next strip to the original two by starting at the opposite ends of the strip ie. where you finished stitching. Keep doing that and your strips should be straight. I did a Ricky Timms convergence quilt and it required very exacting matches and that is what I did and it worked beautifully.
