Question on the frame graft: Did you do one side to completion and then the other side?

Cause it seems like the more plate you add/weld, the greater the liklihood the heat/shrinkage would "pull" one side. So I'm thinking (I'm NOT a fabricator here - obviously! lol) that the "right way" is to add one piece to each side as you go along. Or at least re-measure after every weld....is this correct or am I overthinking it and it's not necessary once everything is tacked?
