1 Why are the seams folded to one side and not pressed open? Is there an advantage or is this just preference? Momma never pressed them to the side but alway pressed open seams and I have also never pressed to one side as that was never something I was taught. I had never even seen this done until Momma watched one of Georgia Bonstil's shows in which she pressed to the side and Momma said 'she was crazier than a bed bug all seams are to be pressed open'. Subject dropped as Momma still pressed her seams open.
2 Would pressing them to the one side make the machine miss stitches because of the extra thickness? I have a Singer Heavy Duty 4423. I have 3 quilts that I need to get finished as quickly as possible so I'm thinking of quilting them on the machine,
3 Can I still do stitch-in-the-ditch when I quilt on the machine if the seams are pressed to one side?
