Hello Everyone,

There MUST be a better way to press Flying Geese. I've been pressing the center up towards the wings, which is fine - until you start sewing them to each other. I believe this block is called the Flying Dutchman, for one, and I'm having particular trouble where the point of one FG intersects with the left bottom side of another. Talk about BULK! Especially along the main vertical and horizontal seamlines when the four quadrants are attached.

How to you press your seams so that you end up with a nice svelt goose and not one bulky enough to be eaten for Christmas dinner?! LOL

I'm attaching a pic for reference.

Thanks,

Karla in CO
