@ELKARS I think it'll be kind of straight even without the technique, it might curve to one side though. I think the edges would be relatively straight. I would probably use the technique to be on the safe side though
This pattern turned out so cute! I just wish that the striped were not so thick on the left side. It was my first time following a pattern like this and it succeeded my expectations! I would definitely recommend it and my friends love it too.
