I like a pattern to include pressing instructions that that the seams go together correctly and I've noticed about 50 to 75% of patterns do not include this information.
the way i accomplish nesting of seams is by ironing the seams to let's say row 1 one direction and ironing the seams to row 2 the other direction. the seams butt right up to one another and you can get "perfect" matching connections.
