Most likely you had texture lock on the whole time you were working, so every time you resized something, the texture got stretched or squashed along with it. Generally speaking, you want to keep that off except when you're resizing overlays. As for the "low quality", Hammer naturally has lower texture detail than the game (unless you have textures turned down in the game as well); don't worry about that.

Quick correction: scaling texture lock is not required to resize overlays; regular texture lock will work fine.

Huh. I always assumed that regular texture lock doubled as a scaling lock, since that's literally what it's for when you're messing with overlays.

Hammer is very weird.
