No big deal in the long run. Too many quilts to make. Stitch on.

I clip the few threads involved then re-sew the seam. Give it a once over while doing final pressing and catch last ones. Guess I have too much OCD. LOL

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.

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.

"Flippies" are why I started pressing my seams open. They drove me nuts. I dial my stitch length down to 2.0 and press open. Now I don't have to worry about them.

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. |
I loved her video, she is so knowledgeable and has great yet simple solutions to problems.

A good pressing helps. But, if it happens, it happens.
