Excellent advice!

And like JustABitCrazy wrote, you don't have adopt all of Sally's methods (I didn't), but just knowing where and why things can go wrong will be a huge help.

It always boils down to the cutting, sewing and pressing - individually or any combination or all three.

The Art of Machine Piecing - I bought it when it first came out - best money I ever spent on any quilting book.
