Default What other tips am I missing?

Have you ever been given a tip that's transformed your life? (This may be a slight exaggeration.......... ).

I learned a tip recently and it got me thinking about how many others I don't know. (Clearly been living under a rock).

I'm making a Minecraft quilt for DGS (thanks to SlightlyOffQuilter for the pattern) and the rows are 8x8. I've previously managed to figure out that rows on many quilts need to be labelled/numbered and made my own with craft beads.

The tip I didn't know about was putting a pin in the left-hand block when pairing, so you know what order they should be. I tell you this has made this quilt soooooooo much easier. Wish I'd known it years ago - duh!

I'm sure many of you will know of this one already, but I think it's a good idea to share our tips with new quilters and other rock dwelllers .

Please share your best tips!
