I just want to add if you've done garment construction professionally you already have dveloped a very good habit of pressing every seam as soon as you sew it, in defense of the woman who just started quilting after garment comstruction. At least this was my personal experience, as i started as a 4-her and it is very competitive. so pressing during quilting came natural to me. I can't be separated from my iron for any type of sewing. It's my left arm.
