My worst advice was being told "you need to pick up and clear out your sewing area after each time you sew, so you have a nice clean area to work in the next time you sew." I have wasted time, energy and frustration doing this. No longer, Well, dust, lint, threads, cutters, rulers, piles, books, and stuff and I now live happily with each other

I was told that you have to use bias binding to bind your quilts. Now I only use it on curve boarders. If someone tells me I have to do it a certain way I'm aready thinking in my head of a different way it could be done.lol No rules,quilting police just have fun.

I really can't think of any bad advice I've received. I take all I can get!

I was told that you do not have to pin or trim the blocks or press...BIGGEST mistake I ever did was listen to that person,who thought she was a teacher(she was not). I was new and didn't know any better.
I learned the techniques from a pro and found out that you must pin and trim the blocks to size after they are pressed. |

What poor advice have you heard and tried?
