I think your only other option would be to press all seams open, but it still means pressing it again. To me, it would depend on which way was easier - pressed open or nested.

Having first been a seamstress, I just pressed the seams open. Worked for me.

Just do it. It sounds like a lot of work but I think you will be happier with the end result. Sorry, but if you don't, you may be sorry, and all that work.....for nothing. Good luck.

Hey, Coaltownquilter. I think you knew the answer to this before you asked? Right? But you did get a lot of support and sympathy.:) Happy re-pressing.
