When finishing writing a sentence in cursive writing (joined up) you get to the end of the word before going back to put a dot over any letter 'i's and crossing the 't's. So dotting your 'i's and crossing your 't's is to tidy up something when finishing doing it.

It means pay close attention to details of the things you do because if you don't it can be completely missunderstood. Afterall if you are writing and you don't dot your i and cross your t. Can you really tell the difference between the two? Thats why the details are so important.

It means to stay on top of things and be watchful. A simple 't' not crossed could turn into an 'l'. It's just a reminder of how easily we can overlook the things that are most important in life.

It means make sure that everything is in order: proofread, spell check, check for syntax errors, etc.

Don't overlook the tiny details because of sloppiness.
