"Ok, this is the inspection part of the video. This is what's going to make sure you have a quality item is by making sure every stitch is in place, you want to make sure everything is overlapped, that nothing came loose, you want to make sure that your lace is tucked in, you want to make sure that you don't have holes that your pennies are going to roll out of, and also you want to make sure that your Velcro is well attached. I have found that, generally, the back stitch, on the top Velcro usually comes out looking less than gorgeous so what I like to do is, at this point, you want to fix any spots you don't like and that you think could use a little work and what I like to do is just go one more time around that top piece of Velcro, just to make it have a little more finished look, from the top. I have learned that every stitch that you fix, you will be so much happier afterwards because you can try to ignore it but it will come back to haunt you. You will usually end up with a product, less than what you wanted if you don't take the time to fix the errors. That would be how you do that part."
