Can't say I've ever heard any of the two groups ever debate about what should be or not regarding wash or not wash...about fabrics....etc.
But than again I've only been in one over a year and the other one 9 months so perhaps haven't gotten to know them well enough yet.
As for "quilt police" I tell them around here that I live to annoy the quilt police. LOL

How about binding? Both steps machine or one machine and one hand.
Of couse most of these fall into the same category as the big three:
Mac vs pc
Nikon vs Canon. And
Mayonnaise vs Miracle Whip.
Nobody can do better than to agree to disagree on those and I guess a lot of these quilting "discussions" are the same.
