100% agree. And prints particularly plaids and stripes are seldom printed with the straight of the grain so ripping to get the straight of the grain precise would be no help at all. Also ripping leaves you with a bruised edge that still needs to be trimmed off.
welcome to the board! I've been quilting since dirt was new and still learn stuff every day. Part of the joy of being a quilter.
