I also hand piece and hand quilt. Here is a question for those of you who do the same. Should I press my seams to one side or can I press them open? I'm asking this because when I press them to the side and SID, it makes it harder to make small stitches. However, if I press the seams open and SID, does it make the seam weaker since I'm not quilting OVER the seam. HELP
