Fix any twisted seams if found while pressing the back. Stitch around the edge of a top to keep any seam ends from unstitching. Put a knot in my thread every so often when I hand stitching my binding to the quilt back.

I won't let myself start a quilt until I finish the one I am on. I wish this wasn't my rule, but it is. I actually envy those of you who have several projects going at once. Just can't do it. I can, however, "think" about the next quilt when I start putting binding on the current quilt.
I guess those are two rules..... Luckily, I am happy with them.

I also can only work on one quilt at a time. I have the plans and fabric for several quilts waiting for me to start them though. I can start on the next quilt if the first one is at the quilters. Now with knitting, I have about 10 projects cast on and in projects bags and I'm not bothered by them at all.
When I start a new quilt I have to clean my sewing room. I don't have to clean anything when working on a garment though. I just shove fabric out of the way and sew.
I also wind about 4-5 bobbins before I start a quilt.

I'm only rule-oriented in my quilting room when it comes to my iron. I'm paranoid about something catching fire, so I am always making sure nothing is near it--no plastic, no aerosol, no paper. It has auto-shut off, but I don't trust even that. I make sure it's off when I leave the room.
