Sometimes when sides are too thin, they'll bend and warp, and not keep a straight line as they're supposed to. This could have contributed to your problem.

Also, sometimes the sides get too thick and not easily bendable. When buying store-bought gouged cane, this is more often the case (because the more you gouge, the first thing to dull is the side of the blade which causes thicker sides gradually).

As I blogged about recently, 50% of reedmaking is just getting the right darn gouge curve.
