John,
I hear you on the Type A personality. It is hard to let it go sometimes.

We too sometimes find ourselves trying to be too much of a
perfectionist. Good digitizing helps (and is why we outsource most of
what we do - it's just not worth the time and frustrations for tough
designs) but I still find sewing polos frustrating (small text wise -
even with small needle and fine thread, solvy, the whole thing) and hats
period - though we bought a new hoop that isn't the wacf and will see
how we do. I read about the 2-3 foot rule somewhere. step back 2-3
feet - if it looks good there, your client will probably be happy.
We get customers coming back to us, so we must be doing something
right... but being slightly obsessive-compulsive and type A personality
doesn't help me sometimes! :)
