Live and learn, is all I can say.
Back to cutting out 196,000 pieces.
The math is a little complicated to follow but here goes
468 actual pieces
Plus Stressful Shrinkage Factor
Times emotional turmoil
Equals 196,000
That math works for me!

I didn't know one was supposed to let starch/sizing dry before pressing it - so I soaked the pieces, and ironed/pressed away.

My pieces grew.
