A client pointed out my headbands were too tight and now I always check the spine swell before sewing.

After a regular customer mentioned the text block on their custom journal felt 'cramped and hard to open flat', I realized I'd been pulling my kettle stitches way too tight for thicker text blocks, so has anyone else adjusted their sewing tension after getting similar feedback?

Oh yeah, looser stitches changed everything for me.

But tight stitches are what give it structure.

My friend's knitting looked way better after she stopped pulling the yarn so tight.
