cville if you stick to the threads in Newcomers you won't find too many where the M is better. I found it useful to go to piecing or success stories and follow those peoples stories from the beginning. It gives you a good understanding on an almost day to day basis of what they went through and what they did to make their sitch better.
Once you get in the piecing forum click on their name and go back to their first post and follow it from there. Then you can decifer the advance on here from what you think you should follow and what you think may hurt your sitch. If you do this don't just look at one and say this is the same as mine I will do the exact same thing and also do look for one that looks the easiest to do. You will probably have to take a little from each one to get the best results as every sitch is different.
