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 think I'm your long lost sister in El Paso. I re-did a seam with out taking out the previous stitches and then went back and redid both stitches - voices from the past made me do it!
