    5. Sleeve Cuff
      1. The cover stitch on the sleeve is always about 1/4". There should be some tolerance for stitching away as it will never always be 100% perfect. Proposed solution:
        1. Implement design rules to only allow for 1 solid color within 2.75" of the cut line for the sleeves. This is only applicable to styles with sleeves.
        2. Minimize or eliminate the use of contrast stitching on sleeves. Due to the nature of the sewing process, sleeves are tough to get perfectly straight.
