I hope your new ruler brings you more satisfying results! When I was learning how to bind and experimenting with different binding methods (by making a boatload of potholders), I made a couple of striped potholders with deliberately wonky stripes. I figured having them off by a lot looked better than having them not-quite-straight. LOL
Maybe my signature should be, "If all else fails, pretend it was deliberate."
