If the woman asking the question can correct the mistakes in her work, she should do so, and she will receive the full payment. If she cannot, then the owner of the garment has the right to reduce the payment by the value of the defect, as estimated by experts, and not by her own judgment. Withholding the full payment is an injustice and a disregard for rights. A minor error that does not spoil the garment may not warrant a reduction in payment.
