If you are careful when placing your blocks on a design board you come very close to seeing what a row will look like without committing with sewn seams. Either way, the object is to enjoy and have fun so if sewing and ripping is fun then who's to say? There is no wrong way in quilting. Just the fun way.

I don't have a design wall, but I do have a huge kitchen counter, so I just lay the blocks out to see if I like the arrangement. I agree the seam ripper is just part of sewing. In fact, Mr. Clover gets really hot and bothered at times.
Ok, it's a private joke, but my favorite seam ripper is a Clover and sometimes it seems I use it more than the sewing machine!
When I first started sewing a couple of years ago I would hate to use the seam ripper, now I realize it is just par for the course. I also had a really hard time with it, eyes not so great. Hubby told me if I slide the seam ripper through it will cut the thread. I was just plucking them out, lol!
Sorry you had to go through all that!

I use my design wall ... I have found that I re-arrange blocks constantly... once I step back and look at what I thought would work... I change it... when I first started taking classes, this is what I was taught and love the idea... my projects, to me, are much better doing this...
