Flipped seams allowances
#23
Thanks for sharing this video Faintly Artistic. It's a great video and well worth watching.
Donna Poster has a YouTube video on sewing tips. She puts a piece of clear tape over the joint in the machine bed right in front of the needle. Seems to work for her.

It's about 3 minutes in, but the whole video is worth watching for all the tips.

I usually just leave them. I do try to "feel" seams as they approach the needle so I can catch any errant seams. I do go back and fix them if there is significant color difference between my 2 fabrics and it very obvious (think white and indigo blue). Then it's worth the bit of extra work.

Yes, it is a headache. I usually clip a few stitches and resew. What helps me a lot is I use one color pins for pinning my pieces and another color to show I have a seam I need to watch. So when that odd color pin comes up, I will lift my presser foot and check the seam to make sure it hasn't flipped.
Enjoyed watching Donna Poster video mentioned above a lot of great tips.
