I have always pressed seams open and never had any of the ill effects that was predicted by those who swore pressing to the dark was the "best" way.
On a few occasions I had brought my quilt tops to the local shop, they all admored the work, all asked how I got it so flat. But when they turned it over and saw the seams pressed open they gave me the "look".
Having a few respected quilters "come out" on the side of pressing open .. give me a bit a validation .. not that I needed it .. but it feels good.... And good to know when I run into the "local cops" and get the
"look"!
