No one is perfect & if it's good enough for QuiltWeek, it's good enough for me. :thumbup:

This is something I have wondered/worried about and I love this solution. Thanks so much for posting it!

I do that also.

I do try to keep seams where they should be but not always successful. I do my own quilting mostly meander. I think the batting helps to hide any flipped seams.

while I pin and try to keep those seams flat, sometimes it doesn't work and then I just press it hard (away from the join). As a long armer, it's usually not a problem (as long as the seam is well pressed) unless SID---THEN it's a problem--it bumps the hopping foot to the wrong side.

I leave them unless they make a big bump that I do t want to quilt over.
