On a general note, I usually always press to the dark side of the fabric or the opposite of a joining row...so they will sit down against each other snug as I sew making my points join together great:)If I am on a corner w/several, I've been trying to learn that little snip technique where you snip a bit on each side..when pressed they make a perfect little patch on the back w/the corners. Even when I hand quilt, I finger press to one side. I was told to the 'why' people use to always press the seams open...can't remember the why now;)Believe it was a bulk issue. And, have been told since (don't know if it is right or wrong) that your seams have more strenght going together. Maybe someone will remember:)Skeat
