I press to the dark as a general practice, but sometimes to nest them one may go to the light side. Really if your fabric edges are even, you should not "see" the darker fabric if you press to the light side...if you do see the dark, just trim it back a smidge....and at bulky intersections i do the "fan", as demoed by EB of QIAD..it really works....lthere has been several times I have pressed open....can't remember the pattern though. If the stitch length is tight enough you shouldn't see those sewing threads on the open seam.....
