Haven't you heard??!!! There are NO quilt police!

:lol: WOF is fine, but this is what I have learned to do. I use WOF but I piece it on the bias. That way the seam is not as obvious. Press the seams open and steam well. They will lie flat and almost invisible.

To cut on the straight, this is what I do. I tear (yes, I said tear) the fabric just a little wider than needed. Then I steam press the strip and trim the edges, torn edge and selvege. Straight every time. I don't think there are any "rules" but this is what I have learned works best.

BTW, the least amount of stretch is the LOF. WOF has more give.
