Either steam or no is a personal preference, but steam is a grand equalizer.
And, as bearisgray said, seams lying to one side did make a stronger piecing, when the piecing was done by hand.
No worry, I'm not agressive about too much these days. Yes, I can see how what she said does make sense. As I mentioned above, I do have one more of these to make, so will definitely give it a try. I will try a bit more steam on those center seams that I've already done, too. Thanks so much!
