I think that it makes a BIG difference in the completed block.
After a while it's just becomes second nature. |
Yes it makes a huge difference a step that I would not miss.

Yes, it does, especially if you are doing half square triangle blocks.
do it and you will see why it makes a difference katz |

I think the seams sit flatter if you set them first.

I set my seams first because it gives the thread a chance to snuggle down into the fabric. Then when you turn the seam to one side it's all more copacetic (and it lays down better). I also am a big believer in steam.
