Thanks, Watson
I think a lot of people are not understanding the "two fabrics, so you have one long strip of two fabrics". Are these two fabrics side by side or end to end? I think either way it wouldn't really matter which way the seam is pressed.
If I am making a patch when I run out of fabric and have to piece a corner with the same fabric, I make sure to press that seam open, so it will be a little less noticeable. But when joining different fabrics when you will see the seam anyway, it could be pressed to the dark or open; either way would be fine.
