Right Zozee, she is my go to girl for sewing. :)
I have room for different options and i go with what i feel comfortable with.

I guess if your goal is to make show quality quilts, then you would want everything just perfect.
If you are making quilts just for fun, i would rather see someone learn the way that comes easiest to them and they go on to make a quilt. Than to sit back and be confused by the directions and not attempt a quilt at all.
We all have different styles of learning.
