Once you do find the correct "way to do it," You might want to write it down in a notebook.
I find that keeping a "CRAFTING NOTEBOOK" is a really good way to keep all those "sandwiches," "best kind of paper to use," "best on-line sources," and all of those kinds of things I need to remember. I use an old looseleaf binder with some dividers so I can categorize things. With the looselaf, I can punch holes in things I have found and printed out and then add those to the binder also.
HTH!
