I would really have to see your blocks to give you an idea on what I think it may be. I tend to press with steam. I like the way that the steam flattens my seams. Welcome to the board!

Welcome from Indiana, USA, I am a beginner and haven't done that block yet. I am sure that someone can help you on this board as I have learned alot as they are so talented and lots of knowledge.

I just learned paper piecing Monday night and was so much fun! I am addicted to them now.

Hello, and welcome from OKlahoma.

Hi and welcome from the sunny state of Florida!!! I'm not advanced enough to do the OBW, but it sounds like you're getting good advise on what to do to fix your problem.
