Wump, try this: after sewing the one fourth inch seam, take the paper off of that seam (just the quarter inch seam outside), and finger press it open before sewing the next seam, and so on. When you finish and take off paper, spray with Best Press and touch it with an iron to press open the seams. Don't iron by pressing down and moving sideways, just touch the seam with the iron, lift up and come straight down to touch the seam again. It will press out beautifully that way.
