Even with nesting, I pin where seams meet. The seams simply must match! I have run into the problem of 2 seams going same direction, adding bulk.

I try and avoid that but when it happens, I will fip on of the seams to go in the other direction and then just simply press the twist in the seam about an inch or three from the matching ones. Probably not show worthy, but it does make the intersection lay flatter and usually the twist in the seam is not too bad. I hide from the quilt police.
