Guess I need to relax a bit. If it's off by two threads I rip it out.

My seam ripper is my best friend. I am probably too critical, that's why I'm doing a wonky/mindless just so I can learn to let go a bit.

great post...at times we are all our harshest judge!

when the fact is, if it is finished, it is GREAT!

Of course I can't attest to that...but I do try to not be so picky!

I'm not sure if mine is so much a degree of variance... although I can't imagine ripping something out for that small an amount. But if I've ripped and resewn more than twice I usually decide the result is "as good as it's going to be".
