I'm looking forward to the discussion on this as I am totally between and betwixt, and need some input as to the why-to!!
It was explained to m, that 'setting' seams' flattens out the thread, and helps prevent the creases at the seam line. I have found that if I put the darker fabric on the top horizontally, set the seam, then open the top layer away from me, press again, it goes fast, and because I make it a habit, I don't forget. Hope this is helpful.
