Been quilting long enough to know how....but don't.

The twisted or bump in the seam bothers me. I pin, I try to sew with the seams facing the feed dogs on top, but not every seam works that way. When I'm coming to the throat plate I gently lift the seam the tinest bit and that keeps the seam from bumping the wrong way. I do snip a few stitches if it doesn't lay right. I am not a perfectionist, but a few things bother me and that's one of them.

What I mean about seam position is that the top seam should lay pointing up so seam will feed into the foot and you can make sure that it feeds correctly and the bottom seam should be pointing down so that it will go smoothly over the feed dogs and not twist. This method also alows the seams to seat/match the seams together better and cuts down on twisting.own on.
