I have a friend who doesn't press until everything is done and maybe it's because of this - not knowing which direction to press for those nesting seams..... Maybe I should try just finger pressing as I go?????Katie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09538545754383438552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3925958115318632100.post-46702773308081917112013-07-03T02:08:04.169-07:002013-07-03T02:08:04.169-07:00The only place I have ever seen a pressing diagram...The only place I have ever seen a pressing diagram is in a Japanese block book. I think getting those seams organized is probably the most challenging aspect of quilt-making ... other than finding a large enough space for basting.Julie Fukudahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704374750710761269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3925958115318632100.post-52858278369218862512013-07-02T13:56:31.788-07:002013-07-02T13:56:31.788-07:00You and me both - ;))You and me both - ;))A Left-Handed Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01145550105234839991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3925958115318632100.post-9742819869528367892013-07-02T12:28:50.964-07:002013-07-02T12:28:50.964-07:00I could be wrong, but maybe some of those pattern ...I could be wrong, but maybe some of those pattern designers don't know that nesting seams makes things fit better? (Look close at how well the points match on their cover photo...you might be surprised...) Or perhaps they just don't care. But I do like a pattern better when I know what I should be doing. :)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515254293191853580noreply@blogger.com
