Press Seam Open or to One Side on Backing?
#11
I press to the side unless specified in the directions. It depends on the pattern, some call for pressing to the side like bargello or lovers knot quilts where to opposing seams lock together to create straight seam alignment. I don't see the need for pressing open except on piecing bindings, backings, and bulky seams

Just putting my two cents in, I do LA quilting for others, and there is one thing I tell my customers-
I want a horizontal seam in the back, cut off the selvage, and make a 1 inch seam and press it open. But thats MY personal preference.
and if there needs to be more than 1 seam, no problem, do the same with the next seam, cut the selvage off and make a 1 inch seam..press open.
best of luck
