I've been a member of this board for only about a year and a half now -
It's amazing/surprising/interesting how some of the same topics come up again and again -
Examples:
To wash or not to wash fabric before cutting
To starch/size fabric before cutting
Which way to press seams - open or to one side
What kind of batting to use
What kind of thread to use
To make the first cut with the lengthwise grain or with the crosswise grain
How big is your stash
What kind of iron to buy
Any other topics that you can think of that show up again and again?
And the answers seem to be : whatever the person doing it wants to do is the "right" way
