sure enough, a few of the garments did exactly what i said my concern was (shocking... i know!).

wrgmg is that the customer was getting all upset about it. i reiterated what i had said to them before the order was started and that i could foresee this happening doing my absolute best to not make it sound like i was saying "i told you so".
i don't know... maybe i'm weird, but if want to do something and get warned of a possible issue by people that are in that industry, i don't think i have the right to get upset at them when things go sideways.
And now you have to brace for the incoming bad review including photos of the subpar work.

We do custom stuff, too. 99% of my customers are rad and some have become friends, but that 1% is a fataing nightmare.
