I generally always tie mine, the twist method is nice quick method old school if you have smaller links that don't weigh a lot. Larger size links are quite heavy when you use a whole casing and can break when you hang them up for drying due to their weight.
Do you cut the casing to length before stuffing and then tie them or stuff the whole casing and then pinch and tie?

I stuff the whole casing then pinch and tie...either way works however. I also maike some kind of mark on my table so that all my links will be about the same size. I like about 1/2-3/4 lb link, just my preference and it also depends on the size casing you prefer to use for stuffing. I keep my casing soaking in hot water when stuffing, ,they go on the horn easier that way. Some like to pre-cut their casings and pre-tie one end leaving it in the hot water till ready, , but i prefer to stuff the whole thing and then make the individual links. Hope this helps.
