Yes, that is exactly what is meant. Jinny Beyer hand pieces and she does exactly what you do. Maybe setting seams applies primarily to machine piecing.........
This actually makes sense.
When you're hand piecing, the thread isn't as thick as when machine piecing. It's only one layer, evenly distributed. It's not looping a top and bobbin thread together so it's much flatter to begin with.
So, yeah, it probably is just a machine sewing thing.
