Because it seems to be working for me.
I have to press ALL the seams open on these blocks I am working on (and not liking it a whole lot).
The other day as I was pondering open seam I decided that it might be easier to do if I wasn't working on a flat surface.
So I pulled out my old ironing 'ham' - and it does seem easier...
But like I said - if this isn't true - don't tell me until I am done.


But why are you pressing the seams open??
ReplyDeleteWHY?? Trust me - I'd need a good reason to go to the effort... LOL.
ReplyDeleteThe first block I made had VERY LUMPY intersections because of all the HST's coming together - so I'm pressing them open to reduce the bulk.
The seams have to be pressed open for Deb Tucker's "Hunter's Star," blocks, also.
ReplyDeleteI understand how much of a pain in the keister it is, but it DID help!
I feel for ya, though, kiddo....
xxoo
