[QUOTE=quilterpurpledog;7466019]This happens to all of us because the feed dogs just catch the edge and pull a seam allowance under. I think it creates a problem-especially when using s DSM. QUOTE]

I recently read a hint on how to avoid flipped seams (it may have been in Bonnie Hunter's Allietare mystery) that in piecing with your seams nested, you feed your top seam facing the back of your machine while the bottom seam will lie toward you... that way you can guide the top seam under your presser foot correctly and you won't have to worry about what's going on underneath. When you have the bottom seam facing toward the back, the feed dogs catch and flip ...

many of you probably already know this but I thought it was an ah ha moment for me.
