When the seam allowance flips, you can gently move the seam over by a notch so the needle will land on the low side again.
THat said, I have done some work where I sewed ON THE HIGH SIDE sort of like a topstitch. It is personal preference.
When I had a little too much wine, I have meandered around the ditch (not sure they make an acronym for that - lol)
And....by sewing on the high side, you catch both fabrics, giving you extra strength at the seam! SITD is not exactly the easiest of quilting methods....requires a steady hand to make it look nice.
