Straighter?

This week I've been stitching on striped fabric again. This time eighth inch stripes in black and white with variegated thread. I like the effect, but quarter inch stripes would be less dizzying.

As nearly as I can tell I'm not more than 1 sixteenth of an inch off either way when stitching along these lines. If I can translate this to stitching on a ruler line when quilting a piece of fabric, then I'm good.

The next step is to decide what to make with these decorated fabrics. A zipper pouch? A fold flat basket? Something else? I haven't decided yet.
