I have pressed seams open to get rid of the bulk. I never have had a problem with pressing them open.

You could also change the points on your pattern, shorten them a little, and then you would only have 4 fabrics going into the middle.

I also saw on some website that you can whack the seam flatter. I got a cheep rubber mallet, and I steam press the seam well, then whack it from the wrong side a couple of good whacks, and it flattens some.

I use the rubber mallet wack routine..and it works! I have the mallet hidden so my hubby doesn't borrow it..or it will never see the light of day again..(another post, LOL)
|
Thank you.....all of you. I will try this and the mallet seems like a perfect tool to use. Thank you.....

You can unsew the stitches that are within the seam allowances in the block and swirl the seams around the center point.
