    I don't either, unless it is flannel!
    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 ;)

    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.
