Could you please explain what you mean by the "no rules" recommendation? I totally agree with you if you mean that we don't need to follow a pattern to a T or use the same fabrics that the sample is made from. I also agree that there are MANY ways to do a lot of patterns/techniques. However, I think we have rules in consistent seam allowance, working accurately, points matching, etc. (That is IF we want to do good work.)
