tile cutting

first time DiYer struggling with ripping 24" tile. The saw I bought has a wobbly table with when trying to rip the tile. I rented a rail saw (its all that was currently available and a pain to use). I'm doing something wrong but don't know what it is, as the tile is about a 1/16 off, I'm using a square and holding the tile down but I'm still off and blowing through my tile. Curious about renting a different saw? Also if the 1/16 off is only on the bottom row how off will the rest of the job be? Will it be noticeable?

If I ruin a piece when cutting that tells me I need some practice and I will continue to ruin that same piece, practicing cuts until I either get the hang of it, or am convinced I am using wrong saw. It doesn't explain your issue but hope it helps. I find the DIY a daunting learning curve with new tools and projects so it does take time and patience. This site has been a HUGE help to me. Good luck!
