I am not near my sewing cave...just thinking...would that work? May have to go down later and try.
And....why do demos sew standing up...watching that makes me nervous......
I think if you do it right sides together, you're going to have hills and valleys when you open it up (like a curved side seam on a dress creates an indentation for the waist and a rounded shape for the hip...). You can press the seam allowance open but as a whole the seam with undulate up and down and you won't be able to press the piece flat...
