How would constructing differently, give you a different look?

HST was the only thing I could think of at the time -
Other examples:
Bias binding versus straight grain binding
Starching/sizing versus not (in my experience, starching/sizing makes the fabrics stretch)
Pressing seams differently mid project (open versus to the side - or vice-versa)
Deciding a mitered corner looks better than a butted corner
Or deciding that it's easier to do a butted corner than a mitered corner
