Its RS11 and I have "fixed" it as best I can. The thing is that I try so hard to sew exactly on the line....I go slowly...etc and yet on these tris...they all seem to want to go kinda crooked on me. Oh...they will be used anyway because I can't seem to fix the problem and dad burnit...I worked HARD on them!
Oh and thanks Sheree!

Sandpat, I feel your pain...I'm wondering if when you are sewing, if your machine is taking the last big and curving it? Put another piece of fabric behind your fabric as you get toward the end. You get less threads running around and I think the edges stay much straighter. Have you tried that before? With these small pieces, every little bit seems to make a difference.
