In Episode 22 of Stitching up Trouble, we’re breaking all the “rules” and airing our unpopular (and totally valid) quilting opinions.

Heidi and Mary share the real-life practices that don’t always match the traditional quilt police standards—and why that’s perfectly okay. From skipping the border measurements to ignoring backing size suggestions, we’re getting honest about how we actually sew.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for doing things your own way in the sewing room, this episode is your permission slip to embrace your methods, trust your instincts, and let go of the “perfect” way to quilt.
