text and the brain

I wanted to add this post to the SEW forum but couldn't (despite Jude's instructions) figure out how so I'll just post it here.

The precision and intensity of focus needed for stitching nice looking, readable lettering does something to the brain (which is probably why I couldn't figure out how to post - great excuse). 

Generally, it makes me uptight, for lack of a better way of describing it. I'm not even sketching the letters out ahead of time  on this one for fear of making a slo-mo typo. I'm going to think long and hard about doing any more of it.

if you use the disappearing blue marking pen and you make a mistake, it will eventually disappear. i sometimes use a pencil with a light touch and a fabric eraser takes it right off if i don't like it.
