I press with every seam either with a paper iron or with an iron. As for lining up two pieces, I have issues too. I make sure to over size it all and then square the block up. I also pin them before joining pieces. Pitty, maybe try another pattern?

I am gonna push this aside and maybe find something else. So much time and nothing to show for it...
I have done one other swap pp and had no issues. Question??? does everyone press with iron every seam? I did.
