The printed pattern is rarely perfectly on the grain of the fabric and I find it really annoying when trying to make garments with such stuff.
I have several pieces of cloth where the pattern is so obviously skewed that I can't bring myself to use it for what I intended it make.
It is far better to have the yarn dyed and the pattern woven in. If the fabric is skewed when you get it, having been carelessly rolled onto the bolt it can be persuaded to return to the true line, or just washed and hung up level and it with right itself.
