When "setting" stitching, I understand I am supposed to press the seam flat as sewn before pressing to one side. Is it OK to press all of the seams as they are sewn before pressing to the dark side, or do I have to press while the seam is warm? I am starting a bargello with many seams and I'm looking for a short-cut. In the past, I have just pressed to the side without "setting" the stitching. I don't know if I am using the correct terminology or not, but I hope one of you know what I am trying to say. I watched Fons and Porter this week and they talked about how important it was to "embed" the threads. Thanks for your help.
