I do not tend to sew rows together. I hate the bulk this way. Instead, I sew in sets. For example, block to block making a 1x2 set. Then, I'll sew two of those sets together, making it 2x2. Then two of those together. Eventually, I will have only one long seam to sew together. For me, this eliminates some of the stretch that comes from sewing long row to long row. Let's say I have a 16-block quilt to make. I sew eight sets of 1x2, then four of 2x2 then two of 4x2 and only one that is one long seam. I find this keeps my work straighter.
