I don't understand all the "press, don't iron" thing. If the fabric is still whole, it would be an impossible task to press the whole thing. Ironing won't hurt it until it is cut into smaller pieces. I have put marks on my ironing board cover showing where the 12.5 corners are, and line up my squares up to match those. They came in really handy when making the Scrapbasket block, as every edge was on the bias and I had to get the seams exactly into the corner. Worked very well.
