Me, too! I have one of those strip sticks and they are a big help but just one more thing to have to find and learn to use. Great help though if the pattern recommends pressing open. Pressing to one side is so much quicker and easier and for most of the patterns I use, I like the extra little "puff" that the seam makes. (Count me as liking poly batting because of the "puff".)
