Several times in my early quilting days the question of which way to press seams came up. I was told to press toward the dark colors, but eventually there will be conflicts with just one method.

Should we always pre-wash fabric?

Should quilters mix fabric types and weights?

When buying fabric online, is there a way to know thread count? It seems to me that thread count is VIP becasue of the way the cloth handles in cutting and sewing.

Do bolts of cloth still tell the weight of the fabric? If not, how can we tell how heavy the cloth will be?

When machine piecing, does it matter what color the thread is? Changing threads could be time consuming.

Are 100% cottons better than cotton blends?

Will there be a "question list" compiled somewhere so we may access it?
