I think this was a good posting to get people posting and offering different opinions. For every person that says something "won't" work there is another person that says it "will" work. What a boring world this would be if we all did everything exactly alike. You learn and grow by taking chances and making mistakes. Each of us should be making our own decisions about what works best for us and practicing and learning our craft. Learning goes on for a lifetime and while I'm relatively new to quilting and learning so many new things every day, I cherish every bit of information I can read whether I agree with it or not. We are artists and should take pride in our work. Whether or not we do it by the quilting bible, they are works of love and deserve respect no matter how we get to the finished product.
