Have you checked the heat setting on your iron? I say this because I had the same issue once, couldn't figure out why the seams weren't behaving properly......finally noticed that somehow (not naming names) the control got turned to a lower setting......after cranking it back up to cotton, things went smoothly and flatly! lol

That is a great video...sometimes if my seam is narrower than 1/4” it will not press easily to one side.

Do you have one of the wool pressing mats? They help to make your seams flatter as the heat from the iron makes the mat hot and the fabric gets hot from the top and bottom.

Perhaps it is your iron. I have a travel iron that just will not stay hot and drives me crazy!

A clapper will set the seams perfectly. If you have a big solid piece of wood like a flat cutting board that will work like a clapper and cover more seams. Use the linen setting on your iron and be sure the fabric is hot.

I would use starch, too; but I use Sta-Flo diluted with half water. Works wonderfully.

Why? It's just starch.

My thought also.
