To anyone following... so I pulled a horizontal thread as suggested...great idea forgotten from home ec class ;-). Here’s a pic. So if you can see it, the print is not running true with the grain or thread pull. The kit is indeed a Craftsy kit. I have contacted them and just received an email back that they will see if they have more of the fabric and get back to me. I have a navy piece in the same kit that is printed just fine. I think I’ll end up fussy cutting as best I can. I’d be happy if I can just get the pieces cut so they are all just running level side to side and not listing off kilter. I’m not concerned with there being exactly even spacing of the lines within the cut pieces as that is way too close to perfection than I’m interested in doing
. As far as doctoring the pictures, I suspect it’s the designers shot if the quilt from EQ where the spaces have been filled with a copy/paste like process and it just looks like they’re all perfect. At least that’s what I’ll go with ;-).
