Just realized I've been over-stretching my seams for a decade

I was helping a new guy on a job in Tempe last month, and he asked why I was pulling so hard on my knee kicker. He showed me how his seams lay flat with just a firm push, not a full-body shove. I tried his way on the next piece, and the carpet didn't have that slight ridge I was always fighting later. It was a quiet 'oh' moment. How many of you had to unlearn a bad stretching habit?

Oh man, that hits home. I probably stretched my first five years of work for no reason at all.

Yeah, heard that's super common.

Seems like that time still taught you something, though.
