I am so frustrated no matter what I try i can't get the center seam to ballance out so that when i open the two peices they lay flat, in other words I have pucker. I have 100 of these seams to sew and its boggling no matter what I do it does not turn out. Any clues would be so helpful, my seams are pressed open as to the directions
Thank you
Sandra

I just iron mine open. Works like a charm for me.
