I remember this and I can see a distortion in the grain when I rip. I do end up losing more fabric cutting back to the point that lays flat again and the grain matches. I shall try the pulled thread. It is more difficult so I haven’t done it. And has not been brought to my attention for so long, thanks for the reminder! My grandmother probably is the one who taught me that.
