Are you my long lost sister?
That was drilled into us too ... must trim and keep it tidy.
Annnnnnnnnnnnd you never re-did a seam (widened, straightened, etc.without taking out the previous stitches. And every time I don't do that now, I can hear my Mother chanting at me from beyond!! :)
I must be a cousin! Trimming and neatening my sewing was drilled into me at an early age and Mom-infused habits are hard to break. My mom laughs at me now when I complain about how hard it is NOT to do something she taught me about sewing.
