I’ve heard nothing but bad thing about DF tailoring. I chose tailoring/enchanting for my new warlock.
Something is telling me to pick up mining or herb instead of tailoring before I go into DF content…
Do you want to be able to make anything yourself for your alts, friends, guild?
If so, great. Pick a profession and roll with it. They are hard to level, take a long time, and have complex stat allocation you can’t ever reset if you make a mistake. Use guides.
If you don’t want to mess with that and want to just buy stuff/have friends make it, a gathering char is good. It provides you with raw mats you can use to have things made via work orders or friends. At worst, you can sell things on the AH.

Thanks for the info! I would like to make gear for myself. But I guess I could probably get it from other tailors and would be missing out on making good gold from gathering.
Perhaps this wasn’t your intent but it really doesn’t seem like being a crafter is a good idea from your description as theres so many traps you can fall in that can take weeks / months to get out of that its just better to be a gatherer because mistakes there will result in slightly less efficiency rather than being more or less bricked.

Well, gathering is good, no argument, but the market is influenced by how many others are selling things. Check your AH carefully and focus on things that sell well. Basics tend to be abundant and have lower prices. Yes, bots are part of that and drive prices down 
You want to gather things Bots can’t easily do.
Well, I did not use a guide and totally screwed up tailoring myself. I did it backwards and locked myself behind tailoring levels. I SHOULD Have unlocked the dragon weaving and gear first. I did the utility ones instead. Now I need to be tailoring 100 before I can make chronocloth/azureweave.
Yes, if someone does professions they should use a guide and not mess up like I did. Four more tailoring points and I can finally get azureweave/chronocloth that I should have had months ago.

I went with textiles first and upon unlocking a 2nd tree i went with the more cloth spec where i intend to stay. It feels like diablo 2 really. Making a few not great talent choices early on can cripple your character in a way that can take a long time to fix if its even possible.

Tailor is good even if you don’t do it in dragonflight. Making bags is nice to be able to do, especially if you have a lot of alts.
Does wowhead stay updated with profession guides or is there another good website?
This would be the first expansion I get into professions in a long time lol so I am completely out of the loop.
It’s sew-sew…

If Primal Chaos were account bound instead of Soul bound, I would find myself complaining less and less about professions in general. As it stands, I’m a poor wower with not an ultra amount of time like a large portion of the playerbase. So coughing up 20-30k for Engineering items(my work orders just sit there) just to get the soul cage and soul sucker item to get an Earthen Soul(that has horrendous mechanic requirements) just makes me not want to play that part of the game.
Like, I get that they wanted depth in professions, and make professions need to craft for other professions… or else you have to sink gold. The game has become discouraging unless you sink an absolute ton of time and gold into it. All with a sub price and a heavty price for the expansion.
@OP those azureweave bags sell like friggin hotcakes though AND they’re expensive. Like everyone else has said, use a guide so you don’t mess up and study up where pathing goes. Remember: EVERYONE needs a cloak. Not just cloth classes.
