In another topic, a long-arm quilter was praising a client for sending her a quilt with all the seams pressed open.

In pretty much everything I've read, it's recommended to press seams in one direction-- to the darker fabric. (And I must admit, I don't like seeing seam allowances through the top.)

So what gives? Which is it? What are pros and cons of each? I know that one advantage of pressing to one side is for stitch-in-ditch quilting, which one should NOT combine with seams pressed open.

I look forward to the discussion.
