You know I think my problem is ironing instead of pressing.
I had ironed my fabric before cutting, and I had put my precut fabric in ziploc baggies for the next day, needless to say they had fold lines, and a couple ended up a little more wrinkled than fold lines so I pressed them before I stitched them which is where most of the distortion happened.
This is good info, and sorry for the newbie question, but yes I am ironing instead of pressing. Thank you all!
