Check your table. Put a level on it and check if it's perfectly level.
A lot of tables have a bow in the middle. Found that the hard way.
I make my cuts closer to the edge of the table for that reason.
I also starch all my fabric before cutting to avoid stretching.
It's whatever works for me.
Edit: I have the stripology ruler. Worked well at first but with time I guess
my table had a bigger bow and it became more of a pain so I gave up.
The Bloc Loc ruler was one I looked at and almost bought - I liked that it nested right up to the triangle. I ended up going with the Wing Clipper because the one ruler covers multiple sizes of flying geese whereas with the Bloc Loc you need a different one for every size.
Good idea about checking my table. I know my old table was very bowed. I just moved things around over here and now I'm using a different table. I think this one is better but I'm going to double check.
