I am glad to hear others do this as well! I open them where I can, and try to wrangle things as flat as possible without any clipping.Often I can just rip the seams on the outside of the stitching so that I can open the junction... But when it comes to a block where I have a lot of seam points meeting and another junction down the line that pulls the seam back another direction, clipping is the best approach I have found. Without clipping the seams I would have had lots of lumps and bumps. I would have also have hated to hit a lump of 16 layers of cotton while quilting!
