In looking at the center fold, I think it might be a vendor problem not just a fabric store problem. It looks like it was put on the bolt and stretched so the store thought they were cutting straight. I work in a fabric store and I am amazed and saddened by how bad the fabric production has become. It can be a huge problem when the print has a definite straight pattern and it is printed on an angle! I have seen the straight pattern as far off as 3" on a 42" WOF. I usually cut it to the customer's benefit and write off the 3ish"'s but try to explain to them that they will never get a straight edge on pattern, but, they rarely believe me - who am I - only someone who has sewn for 60+ years and works in a fabric store.......
