I don't think clockwise or counter clockwise makes much difference, as long as you to it the same way on all the logs. But as for sewing over seams, the rule for log cabins is: after the 4th log, you
always sew over two seams. There will only be one side that has two seams; that's the side to which you sew the next log. Why don't you try a log cabin again with a friend that knows how to do it, and see how much fun it is? Good Luck
