Do You Iron Seams Open Or Iron Them Closed????
I've come across a few patterns that have instructed to iron the seams open but I'm a little nervous about doing that. I feel they wouldn't be as strong. And that goes against everything I've been taught. Grandma taught me to iron the seam toward the darker fabric but I can see how ironing them open would be beneficial when hand quilting like I do. Sometimes those seams are a little tough to get through. What are your thoughts?
