It sort of depends on which seam it is and how you are going to press it. If it's a side seam, and you are going to press it to one side or the other then I would definitely grade it. If it's the side seam and you are going to press it open or not press it at all then grading isn't going to help. I'd grade the bottom seam and press it to one side. Peltex is a bear to work with, but the bags made with it look so crisp & professional. I love how they stand up on their own! Please post the finished product, we'd love to see it.
