I just love this forum. I have learned so much here. I guess I am in the old fashion group, pressing my seams to one side, however after reading this thread, I am going to give this a try. I was told many many years ago in a class to never press my seams open and so never really have on a top. I am always open to new to me technique, thank you Iceblossom for your input, your post has encouraged me to try something new.
