<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Hi everyone, I know it was a few weeks back and someone was asking on edu list about quality finishes. Although ive done it before, I d never really listed aspects out formally. That made me
sit down and discuss with my students aspects of quality in production. We came up with some ideas below and they chose which aspects were most suitable to their situation. Hope this helps
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
