You might try ironing your fabric first too. That might help. Also use a sharp razor blade in your rotary cutter. Don't try to cut a long strip with one cut.
What I mean is...walk your hand up the ruler. Start your cut...stop...walk your hand up the ruler.....start cutting again. This way your ruler won't move. Hopefully your cut will be straight on.
Please let us know if this helps.

I understand your problem, had the same problem too until I bought an ALTO 2 cutting board. I was pushing the material without realizing I was doing so. Also make sure you don't bend bend your rotary cutter when you cut, I also was doing this without noticing how I was holding the cutter. There's a lot to pay attention to when you cut, take your time and you will get better as you go along.
