The other night, while also procrastinating doing something annoying, I screened another layer onto one side of a piece of fabric I had printed with a gelatin plate some time ago. The other side looks entirely different. Those little rectangles were made with a mouse pad I bought years ago at Old Navy during back-to-school season. Here's a random detail - my paternal grandfather when he was young and rather stern looking. I have a cousin who is his clone: isn't it amazing how genes will out?? I suspect we all have similarly eerie resemblances in our families. Enough avoidance -- back to the sewing machine!

Aah, someone else with this problem! If anyone tells you how to avoid it, let me know... (I read somewhere to measure through the middle of each side and make sure they are equal but it doesn't seem to help much).
No, it doesn't help if the middle measures x and one end of the same side measures x+.5 and the other end measures x-.25 - LOL. Glad I'm not the only one!
Join the club! I use a large square ruler and start at one corner... but STILL end up with different measurements top and bottom or side to side... Argggggggggggggggggggg!!!
My excuse is that this isn't carpentry...fabric is fluid..it oozes. How's that for a rationalization?
Rayna, RAYNA! One-quarter of an inch!
Let me send you a few so you don't have to worry about being short. Or long, or whatever. Gabrielle's right.
It OOZES when you are not looking.
It oozes even when I AM looking. I LOVE this group - thanks, guys. I am such a non-obsessive type that you wouldn't think this would bother me. Life is fulla surprises. Gabrielle - I love your new work-in-process on your blog.
