Did anyone ever hear: Lick your calf over? (redo your job) or It isn't what you say but how you say it? (don't cuss or use slang)
Love the good, better, best phrase. I had never heard that.
My home ec teacher told us that when a garment is made it should be made so that it could be worn inside out - finish those seams and cut the tails of thread. (she meant it too)

My mom was always telling me to lick my calf over. That was a favorite of hers. Also, the one about how you say it is more than what you say. You can feel the person's feelings by the way they say it.

The thing is that 'best' doesn't mean 'perfect'. Best refers to your own best, not someone elses best. None of us are exactly alike, so our 'bests' won't be alike either, and our best will change over time. Looking back at my first quilt tops and the ones I make now, I can see that my 'best' 6 years ago is not as good as my 'best' now. But it was still my best for my level of experience at the time.
We were taught the "good, better, best" jingle in grade school to help us remember that 'gooder' and 'goodest' aren't words.
