Default How do you press your flying geese blocks?

I am making the Snow Geese pattern:
http://www.fonsandporter.com/article...ng_geese_quilt

using the new Accuquilt Go die for 3"x6" finished flying geese (correct size for the pattern).

The pattern says to press the seams open, but my machine tries to "eat" the beginning of every seam. It doesn't usually do that, but there's something about the angle of the feed it doesn't like about these pieces. This makes me leery of pressing seams open, as the seams aren't entirely uniform.

For this pattern, would you recommend pressing seams towards the small triangles or towards the center? Or should I try pressing them open as the pattern suggests? I haven't made flying geese blocks before.
