I just discovered there are many, many sewing blogs and websites debunking sewing myths! And, I've learned quite a bit reading these lists of myths. Many of these myths I've never believed in anyway, so it is reassuring to have them poo poo-ed by others.
I want to share a few of my favorite lists.
First is the list attached to the "Life is hard, sewing is easy" photo. It debunks 5 basic myths that will make you feel better about sewing in general.
Next, this list from Threads Magazine - is more couture oriented.

Threads shows a better way to cut bias and ...
debunks the idea that a Hong Kong finish is the best for couture clothing and MORE!
The last set of Busted Myths is by my friend Janet Pray. Not only does she run the American Sewing Expo in Novi, Michigan every year, she also is a super sewing expert and has done many Craftsy tutorial. She owns and operates Islander Sewing which teaches home sewers industrial sewing technics. Her list is very practical. It includes the idea that directional sewing is not necessary, in fact it bad in some cases! I never sew directionally. It takes too long, I think.
