I use steam almost all of the time. I think it makes for a flatter block. This is the same reason I normally press my seams open. I starch during my initial ironing after prewashing and sometimes use more starch depending on how the fabric is behaving or not during the process. Still use steam.

This is another one of those questions that will have pros and cons for both sides. Some will say don't use steam because it distorts the fabric. Others like it and have no problems. Either way, the pressing technique is the same. Press don't iron.

I have always used steam...seems to result in a much flatter and "finished" appearance to me. Then I read that some say not to use steam. I guess it's up to the individual. Thanks for your responses!
