I will end up making it "my way"
I like simplicity, and hate long winded directions.
We must be sisters! I almost always "fix" patterns. I can't tell you how many times I've redrafted patterns and rewritten the instructions because the designer over complicated it. I even fixed the D9P!! Why make a block and then cut it up when you can just strip piece it to start with.

Ditto! Ditto! Ditto!

My grandma taught me to follow all the rules of proper methods for making a quilt. Then I found out all grandma's don't have the same rules. :lol

I "rip" out seams that are in error. I do NOT "unsew"!!!!!!

I rarely make bias binding anymore!

That is probably why I end up modifying most patterns or making up my own.

I used to forget some times to close it instantly well after one time cutting myself I always shut it now
