    Seems like they bring out the mean-ness.
    I never see meanness! I just see opinionated people. Like me!

    Opinionated I don't mind unless they are mean and opinionated. I can't imagine not liking you when you have such a beautiful avatar and a quote like you have. Love them both.

    Of couse most of these fall into the same category as the big three:

    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.
    Good point. Agree to disagree. Makes me think of an old song. Maybe Dave Mason, that said " so let's leave it alone cause we don't see eye to eye. There ain't no good guy. There ain't no bad guy.There's just you and me and we just disagree." I am a mayo girl myself. Don't even try to feed me something you put Miracle Whip in.

    we come down on both sides of the copyright laws. Some seem unfair. I don't sell my quilts so I'm not affected much.

    To wash or not wash the fabrics (and whatever else is dunkable) before cutting -

    at least it's one that I feel very strongly about.

    In my opinion, it's a "laying the foundation" step for whatever is done next.


    The quality of WalMart fabrics also gets a lot of discussion - in my mind - "it depends"

    From time to time I see the issue... If you tie a quilt is it a quilt or blanket.

    I tie my quilts, It's too expensive for me to send out. I only make quilts for family

    Guess it also depends on who is involved.

    I like mayo and miricle whip. I like traditional and art quilts. I like LGS and Walmart and Joannes and hobby lobby and hancocks. I like steam and no steam. I like reading many different opinions. Sometimes I lijke adding my opinion. :)

    I am thinking it might be how to get the scant 1/4" seam just right.
