I began sewing as a child in the 50s. I learned to prewash and straighten fabric very early on. I remember learning to pull the fabric to straighten the print in Home Ec class. I did not start quilting until the 80s but "happy accidents" in sewing garments led me to always prewash and pull threads or rip to make sure I was on the straight of grain.
Drooling over your machine!
It turned out very nice💕
😊looks good and yes I have had problems too
Quilting is totally improv! No quilter is a dumb ...ss. Just ituitive and adventurous!. Cute quilt! Yes , panels are like this alot!
It didn’t come out bad! I would have used some of the backing fabric in the corners but it looks great!
What mistake? It's adorable. 😉
Good save!
It's very cute.

I’ve had problems with crooked panels too!
🥰Love this fabric. Thanks for your videos ❣
Did you launder and machine dry the fabric first? Sometimes that takes care of the distortion. Not always! Some prints are just printed off square.
Have you ever experienced problems with fabric being crooked, or not measuring correctly? How did you fix it?
