I use a thick wood cutting board for big blocks.
was the instructor Sally Collins? Or maybe the instructor used her methods. I love her although as much as I try I will never do precision piecing. I have a clapper and a wool pressing mat and when I use the method you described things are very flat. I have also started pressing most seams open.
