You will always find a variety of "answers" to our quilt questions, some will work and others will not. Also what works for one person will not work for you. I say listen to what people say, try it if it's feasible, if it works fine - if not, it's also fine. Whenever I take a quilt class I can usually learn something new that will make quilting easier. I once took a quilting class from a well known quilt teacher, when something needed to be "unsewn" she took out her rotary cutter to cut the stitches. When I asked about it she said that she used the rotary cutter because she didn't have her seam ripper available. It's crazy, but I've used it many times and it works. Always be open to doing something differently and if it works, fine, if not, go back to what you are comfortable with.
