2. I use elmer's school glue to match the seams, press it with a hot iron, then sew the seam
3. I use the fork pins to hold the seams together on either side--you can see them here:

Thank you for these tips! I bought the Elmers Glue and the special bottle, but have yet to use it. I think this would be the perfect time to try it. The reason that some of seams don't match on my D9P is because it's an "I Spy" quilt, so the middle block becomes a cornerstone for each block. I plan to quilt with SID, so I'm not sure pressing the seams open would be a good idea. Thanks to all for your responses!
