Slow slow or run and go??
Hello everyone, I love a debate so here goes!
Do you prefer a slow pot roast of a project and get the seams millimetre perfect??
Or do you prefer the 'sew on the go' approach and don't mind if they are a bit off because "I like the design so that's what I am sticking too and perfection 'aint my bag"??

Measure three times. Cut once.
Match edges. Match intersections. Sew. Strive for that perfect quarter-inch seam.
With that said, if I have to fudge a bit to get things to fit together "perfectly" so be it!
Strive for that perfect quarter-inch seam UNLESS points will be cut off!

I find myself getting frustrated when pieces don't fit together, so much so that I will put a project away or procrastinate in finishing it. But I also don't like spending lots of time getting seams and points just so. So I guess I'm in the middle of that continuum.

I like both, at the moment I am striving for perfection, unpicking if I am not happy etc etc. But when I finish this project, I am going to make a string quilt or rag quilt (or something equally simple) and just go for it.
I love being able to just sit and sew flat out without stressing too much, but I also enjoy getting things as near perfect as I can.
