I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better to have a lot of units ready, sew them all, then press them all, then trim them all, instead of doing each one at a time. Or does it not make a difference in the long run?

I do the "mass production" method wherever I can. If it's something particularly fussy I'll do one at a time, but otherwise...no.
