Thank you so much, to whoever it was that mentioned how to properly press our blocks, a couple of weeks ago. I tried to find the post, but couldn't.
They mentioned to finger press the seam over to the one side then just press the iron down on it to set it. I know this sounds stupid but I didn't really know how to press things. Now that I do it correctly there is a huge difference in my 1/4" seams. I was mangling all my seams with the iron after I sewed them. It just goes to show that no tip is to small to be shared. |
I've been quilting for years and had never heard of pressing the seams as sewn before pressing them to one side. I saw it on a video by Eleanor Burns... it does make a wonderful difference.

I never knew the difference between pressing and ironing until I read about it here :D :D :D Less wonky blocks for me now :D :D :D
