i was wondering if anyone would suggest this! they don't have home ec now or noone takes it?? i learned to line up the selvages, then to pull diagonally on the shorter corners all the way thru the length, not just on the corners. this will line up the selvages and the fabric's grain. i don't think this is taught in quilting classes today.
