I just seen at a quilt shop this week that she was pressing the seams open I had never seen that done but so called the book called for it to be done that way. The first I had ever seen that. I was always taught you press to the dark and when you hit two seams together one seam goes one way and the other the other way way not so bulky. But after that I am wondering ok quilters are we changing to pressing them open now. So confusing after I seen her quilt she was making the owner of the quilt shop! I think I am sticking to way I have always done it case I see a need to press open the seams!
