Same here, I never wash fabric unless it's flannel, or unless it's for a Board swap!

OH, BUT when it comes to scissors, my fabric scissors are just for fabric. This isn't a rule, it is a fact. Using them on other items, like screws, nails, wire, and stuff will dull them. LOL ;)

THERE'S RULES???? When did that happen?

I rarely wash fabric
I don't press anything til the block is finished
I don't iron wrinkled fabric before cutting it, a plastic see-through template does it well enough
I don't change a blade til it hurts my wrist to press so hard
All colours go together
Sometimes use 1/4" of selvage for seam allowance
Use fabric scissor to cut paper if paper scissors aren't within reach
Fudge on seam allowance if I need to
Can't think of any others, but I probably break them too ... am a Taurus - stubborn, bull in china shop

I let my cat in the sewing room. He is worse than a two year old, he plays with EVERYTHING!

I don't follow any rules until I learn my lesson. I almost always wash my fabric now, but never press, I always seem to iron.
