To wash fabrics before cutting them versus there is no need to

Buying nice fabrics wherever one finds them versus purchasing them only from LQS

Starch/size a fabric before cutting versus thinking a fabric should have enough body on its own

Using steam to press versus using a dry iron to press

WalMart/JoAnn/Hobby Lobby are nice places to shop versus I would rather die than go in any of those!

Using a nice, simple old(er) sewing machine versus top of the line new sewing/embroidery machine (money matter!)

Applique versus piecing---each has a place

Paper piecing/strip piecing/foundation piecing versus the other kinds of piecing

Long arm quilting versus domestic machine quilting Someone else is doing it--I don't care

Tied versus stitched methods to hold the layers together depends on quilt

Binding cut on the straight of grain versus binding cut on the bias------usually!

Something I'm adamant about is repurposing fabric-----------lots of my stuff is recycled yet almost new fabric
