I too press my seams open. I feel everything lays flatter. We say ther are no quilt police but how is an opened pressed seam looked at by judges in a show? I also use poly blend threads now because I quilted a quilt on the diaganol and the all cotton thread I used breaks if it has the tiniest bit of pull on it. I also try my best to cut all border fabric length wise so I don't have to deal with the stretching from crosswise cut pieces.
