I have been sewing all my life. I have always changed cutting layout to save fabric. When in school, I helped my younger sis with her sewing projects. The teacher would tell her she did it wrong until she told the teacher that I helped her. Then all was well. I have learned that we all have our way of doing things. Not wrong, just different. Never thought of it any other way. I just always look for an easier (to me) way.
