it worked as well as the first time. I am still amazed this is working so well. I wonder how long this will keep working for me? Other than not pressing I am doing the same as I always have. Interesting for sure.

Are you using the wallpaper seam roller or just finger pressing?

I did finger pressing, have not had a chance to dig out wallpaper roller. It worked very well.

I used the fingerpressing method for my blocks at the beach last weekend. It worked well for me!

I did it and it worked but I have to force myself not to press!

Seems the only exercise I get while sewing is to get up to the ironing board, but, hey! I'm willing to sacrifice it!

I'm finding that it works really well with my piecing, but then I do tend to iron to death.

I need to try this. It'll be hard for me to not iron in between-and I have a little board right next to my machine so I don't even have to get up.

So what about setting the seams with the iron? Should I not do that too? Any thoughts????

I always press the seams and found it makes no difference whether ai set the seams or not. I actually think I like the flater look by not setting the seams. To each her own.
