Turn the steam off, do not set the seam, do not press to one side. After sewing, flip the fabric, gentle press the seam open with your fingers and put the front part of the iron on the seam and lift the strip slightly ahead of the iron. Once you press and set the seam it will be near impossible to press it open.
