    Are you starching your fabric before you cut it? That really helps. You may be getting your fabric stretched out. 1/4" foot is a wonderful investment. Make sure your seams are ironed in different directions. Do one row in one direction, next row other, then I sort of take the seams give a little pull nestle seams together and pin.

    Did you prewash...I don't...because I like keeping the sizing in so it's easier to cut and no stretch...Some wash and then starch to much work for me.

    Welcome from WV. It is called measure, measure, measure and then pray a little. I don't always achieve perfection, matter of fact quite often. Just tell anyone who asks, it was planned that way.
