ManiacQuilter2

I have been quilting since the 80s and have never clipped any seam. I can see it occur maybe if you are doing curved piecing but I have never tried that piecing. You can get a flatter intersection by undoing the seams and get the seam allowance to lay in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. Eleanor Burns uses this technique quite often in her quilts. It will then make a small pinwheel on the back of the block in the center. This works well when making a block such as a pinwheel where there is so much bulk in the center. If you have done FMQ, you will find that your DSM may just bulk at the excessive thickness if you stitch into that bulk. Been there, had it happen to me when I quilted other people's quilt tops.
