I suspect that's one of those "old wive's tales" since thinking you had to intentionally put a mistake in or it would be perfect would be a sin of arrogance.
It is not an "old wife's tale". It is also believed in other communities like Native Americans.
How arrogant is it to think your work is so perfect you have to intentionally put in an error?
I don't believe we are talking about intentionally putting in an error. I believe we are saying it is okay to have an error. And I am not arrogant. Just a humble quilter and crafter that has reached the ripe old age of 70 and learned not to let the little things in life worry you.
