It depends. If it is an easy project that doesn't take much thought so as a rail fence but if it a more complicated pattern go more slowly ..I don't like to take things apart.i'm working on one now for my GD which is just squares layer. have all the squares cut now to the sewing machine. and sew away.

Depends on what the project is, if its strip piecing and rotary cutting it is sometimes pedal to the metal. Applique depends if it is hand or machine. If by machine it goes pretty fast, but hand is when I want to relax. So guess I work both ways, just depends on the project.

Slow here - faster when it comes to completing the top but then I accumulate a bunch of them and it takes me forever to do the FMQ'ing on them and finish binding. If I get one or two tops done a year I'm a happy camper!

I took a class once and while my fingers were fumbling at snail's pace the lady two chairs down had finished and was starting her third ruched rose! Intimidating to say the least, except she was so nice and said "My grandmother taught me this years ago!"Slow or fast, just enjoy!!

My first job years ago was as a Lab Tech. We got three deliveries of speciams a day. We had to get each one done before the next arrived. I learned in a hurry to get the job done as fast and efficiently as possible. My life since has always been that way. I earned my mpspeedy name more than 40 years ago.
My quilting and sewing gets done the same way and most other things in my life as well. I am a speed reader and usually produce anywhere from 15 to 20 Linus quilts a month. I can handquilt a queen size top in about 6 weeks while watching TV in the evenings.

It depends on what I'm doing. I do a lot of PP and once I'm underway and stitching a block together, I can go at a pretty good clip. Other piecing, I find it works out better to be very precise, work slower and I won't have to rip out seams later.

I'm like this sometimes too, I'll be part way thru a project and my brain starts thinking about what project/pattern to start next.

I seem to find myself quilting and sewing too fast and have to make myself slow down in order to do a better quality of work.

I often start out slowly but then get excited to see the final project so my sewing gets faster and faster.

I just go with the flow. No pressure. Sometimes I have to get the ripper out, and most of the time it's cause i'm not paying attention to what i'm doing. Sewing is my hobby, therapy, and I truly love the outcome of all my projects.
