The sides of the blades are on a bias (maybe not a true bias, but more stretchy than being cut on the grain line). If you stretched them when pressing, this could be the issue. I always press the seams of the dresdens open -- not to one side.
You might be able to flatten it if you wet it with starch and pin it flat on your ironing board and letting it dry.

The I press towards the dark on each one so that the seams are spread out more.....Love to see what you come up with.
Cathy Miller, the quilting singer, has a song about this. She calls it size "d" cups.....funny song.

Sorry it's taken me so long to answer...... no, make the seam just a hair larger than a 1/4 inch. If the edge of your fabric is lined up with the edge of your foot, move the needle to the left, or one click farther away from the edge of the presser foot. That should do the trick!
