I'm pretty new to both sewing and quilting so I like to give new-to-me ideas a whirl after reading reviews or seeing videos. Love glue for piecing an basting and any technique that produces more than just one item (i.e. magic 8 HST). I avoid things with too many steps. Why frustrate myself - I know my temperament.
I won't use pins for any reason at all - too many cats and my sewing space it a wide-open loft.
