What do you think is the most controversial subject in quilting?
#61
A BIG can of worms :mrgreen: :mrgreen: , but wouldn't quilting be so boring if we all only did things one way. Come to think of it life would be pretty boring if we all liked the same thing, I think we should all agree to disagree :lol: :lol:

I think we are all just trying to enjoy our hobbies, and the "brand name" of the machine shouldn't enter into it...

Well got to put in my 2 cents worth, 1 cent maybe. Unless your quilt is being judged in a show, what ever methods you use to get your quilt finished, is owned by you the maker of said quilt. Your quilt can only be judged by the artist that made it. I like seeing all the quilts posted, sometimes they spark creativity in me. I really don't pay attention to people saying what should and should not be done. Fabric is our painters paper in a sense. what we manipulate it into is our art. quilters are artists. we make masterpieces.

It is my observation that quilters are truly artists who use fabric (and other things) to create their art work. I've worked with both writers and visual artists in one capacity or another most of my life. The one thing I can say about them, as a generalization, is that they feel strongly about their work, and have strong opinions about it. The fact that a group of Quilters/Artists have strong opinions about the nature of their artistic endeavors, and at times with clash over them, is only to be expected. Oh, yes, and artists are highly individualistic, which can be seen in both their work, and in their attitudes: "My Quilt, My Way!" Nothing surprising about that. If we can only look at it from this perspective, then these little "spats" over how things are done, are really nothing but clashes that should be expected among a group of such talented people. Just tell them how you do something, but don't try to convince them that your way is the only way, and things should go smoother around here. Although I must admit, I do like a bit of "spitfire" every now and again! Keeps things interesting!

My humble Kenmore and I have felt this pain too. It was a huge upgrade for me from a straight stich only machine and all I could afford. Kicked my friend's Pfaff's machine butt when we were collaborating on a rag quilt.

Life is too short to get so upset over any of these controversial subjects. Expressing 'our opinions' shouldn't step on top of other's opinions... and that is my opinion! :lol: :lol: :lol:
When I first joined this board I used to jump in on things like prewash/no wash, etc. but now I just read them and smile! :-D
