Would you return this fabric?

I remember in home economics we were told to lightly pull the corners on a bias and give it a few tugs. This may help straighten the top right corner. (?) I'm not sure you can return fabric once you have cut into it.

[QUOTE=SWEETPEACHES;5708319]It's taking forever to get it squared up and I'm losing so much fabric. The long piece is squared up, the short piece isn't.
Return it ASAP I sure would you pay for quality not poor quality.

Good job! Finished product looks great! My hubby has a custom cabinet shop and I've told him many times, "I'm so glad I don't work with wood. Fabric is so much more forgiving!" I can't imagine working to the 32th of an inch! Stretch it, push it, make it fit works for me.

Nice bag!
If it's a printed plaid that is off-grain - after washing it to see how the fabric wants to go - I feel that one has two choices:
1) Cut with the print and the fabric is off grain
2) Cut with the grain and the print will be off
I've learned to be very aware when buying printed stripes and plaids. They are not possible to straighten.
Woven plaids and stripes can be worked into alignment.
