    Laurie,  Sawing a straight line doesn't take all that long to learn.
    The direction your saw accidently turns can be due to the blade
    itself OR YOU!  To control the direction of that dang blade: Don't
    'manhandle' the saw frame.  Hold the frame gentle. BARELY hold it. A
    brand new blade will go exactly the direction it is
    used.....so.....if you try too hard it will show it and just go and
    go the wrong way.  Now, I have been told a few different ways to saw
    straight......but, one way works for me better than others.  Saw
    straight up and down a stroke or two, then tip the blade forward and
    this tipping forward will create a kerf that the blade will follow
    when sawing straight up and down.......so, stroke straight up and
    down then tip forward, up and down straight then forward a stroke or
    two and SO ON and SO FORTH. Good luck.   Steven
