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.
Every time you post one of these stories, it reminds me of this...
