Found out over time that the error usually disappears in the sum of the parts. We are sooooo close to the work that we see every missed point and every seam that isn't perfectly matched. We need to give ourselves a little leeway.
i painted the floorcloth in my dining room i spent 3-4 hours for 3 nights in row sitting crosslegged on the floor with a tiny little detail brush to make sure the lines were all exact.
after i finished it, varnished & waxed it, my grandson found a small flower center i missed... (because he was sitting under the table dusting the stretcher bars for me ....
no one else has noticed... i gave up on perfection after that!
