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!! :)
Let me try my post a little more clearly this time (sigh...)
