I press open whenever I can. It makes the top lie much flatter for quilting, and I think results in a nicer looking quilt. I do not nest seams I pin them...pinning is more accurate if you take your time. I use the extra fine Clover patchwork pins so I can sew over them!

But...there are times ie. when sewing a strip of fabric to an edge with many seams, where I press to one side, so all those seams don't fold over and create bulk.
