I would appreciate any help with this.
If you have pressed your seam allowance to one side, the ditch will be as close as possible to the seam on the side that DOES NOT have the seam allowances. Use a thread that blends with the "ditch" side not the other side. If your stitching jumps to the side with the seam allowances, you'll see it right away as it looks like topstitching.
