    Hello everyone, I know that the issue of aligning letter stamps has
    been discussed (and is in the archives), but I thought that once I
    lined up the stamps themselves the letters would line up as well.
    Boy, did I slap myself on the forehead when after literally dozens of
    botched attempts at alignment I finally thought to look at the face
    of the stamp itself and realized that each letter is in a different
    place relative to the outside edge of the stamp! 

    duh. 

    So now what? Do you really need to look under the stamp each time to
    try and see where the letter will hit? I have to believe there's a
    better way. Please reward my optimism with advice! 

    Best, Jessica, where a fine layer of fog is settling on the hills
    outside my window in San Francisco.
