I, too, found that setting the seam makes it easier to fold over v. cold.

I set all my seams before I press them to one side. It 'sinks' the piecing thread into the fabric and results in much flatter/squarer/truer blocks when done. For me, it does make a big difference and is worth the time, but if you really can't tell any difference with yours, it may not be worth the bother.

here's a site with some instructions. I have seen a you tube video out there, but can't find it right now... http://crazyquilteronabike.blogspot....ing-seams.html .... I'm a self taught quilter and thought I invented this till I read up some and found it's a common practice!

LOL PaperPrincess, I thought the same thing until I saw Eleanor Burns do it!

Bonnie Hunter had pictures and instructions on her blog how to piece the so the seams always twirl. All the longarmers I've used said my quilts were problem free. Too bad I can't say the same for most LA's I've used. LOL
