That way they sort of nest together. (I know folks who iron the seam open, and that would make it easier, I think. But I stitch in the ditch and if I iron my seam open, I am only sewing on thread when I quilt.) Then I pin exactly where the points meet and don't remove that pin until I about 1/4 inch from it when sewing. But before I do that, after I have pinned or even right after I have put a few pins in, I peek to see if the points match. If they don't, I adjust then.
I hope this is helpful.
