What do you do with crooked fabric?
I'm cutting some I Spy charms for a swap. (Meanwhile, I'm struggling with how to improve my quilts, so I'm looking at everything carefully.) The fabric has been washed and pressed. Two of my fabrics have linear designs. (Birds in a row) Straightening the fabric the Leah Day way, it's appears to be printed crooked. The pattern is at least 1/2" off across the grain . You can see that the feet of the birds show on one side of the charm and they don't on the other. On an I Spy charm, it's not too noticeable. However, on some patterns, it could be really noticeable.
This is a name brand quilting fabric.
Do you cut with the grain and live with it looking crooked or do you cut with the pattern and live with it being crooked?
