For several of those listed, I have no need or even desire to try the 'new' way. Spray basting, pasting, die cutting, liquid markers...not on my 'gotta do this' list at all. Neither are sergers, embroidery machines, specialty rulers or templates, mechanical seam rippers, comic book boards, or spring loaded scissors. I'll just stick with my 'proven' ways. I've been quilting for so long that it was kind of funny to see rotary cutting referred to as the 'old' way though.
