I have started pressing all my seams open. I use a shorter stitch length. Finger press with my finger nail. I get better matched seams this way over nesting my seams. I guess it is to each his own. I started this after taking a Leah Day class. It works for me, but if pressing to one side works for you, that is by all means what you should do. Remember there are no quilt police, not at my house anyways.
