Do you clip your curves?

In garments, I always clip and notch curves.
In quilts, I try not to ever clip or notch. The seam allowances in a Drunkard's Path will usually lie flat after you press the block.
In applique, if the piece isn't starched into submission before I sew it down, I can usually pick and nudge at the turned edge and get it to lie down, but I do occasionally resort to clipping.

I clip, mostly because my curves never seem to want to lie flat, regardless of how narrow the seam. I learned from my 4-H teacher and my grandmas to clip. When clipped, they really lie nice and flat and totally behave. When not clipped, the seams are bulky, awkward, and in general just don't behave.
